It notes that Southern Democrats fought in the\u2064 Civil War to preserve\u2063 slavery and implies\u2064 a\u2062 connection between them and today&#8217;s &#8220;woke&#8221; activists who promote social justice initiatives. Recently, newly appointed Defense secretary Pete Hegseth expressed support \u2063for reverting to the old names of these bases, which were changed under the\u2064 Biden administration due to their\u200d association with pro-slavery individuals. Hegseth&#8217;s comments have sparked excitement \u2064among \u2063some \u2062veterans who question \u2062the necessity \u2062of the\u2063 renaming.<\/p>\n<p>The article\u200c argues that such actions reflect a broader trend of &#8220;wokeness&#8221; that seeks to erase aspects of American history deemed problematic, comparing it to China&#8217;s Cultural Revolution.It suggests that this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">moral superiority complex leads modern \u2064activists<\/a> to eradicate ancient legacies without understanding the nuances of those legacies, such as reconciliation post-Civil War. The piece concludes that while the names of these bases may have ties to a racially charged history, they also symbolize a critical aspect of American identity and national healing. \u200dThe focus should be on tradition and humility, rather than\u200c a rushed campaign\u200d to remove historical references deemed offensive.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Southern Democrats fought the American Civil War to protect slavery from President Abraham Lincoln and the newly-formed Republican Party.

Benning, a lawyer, ardent secessionist, bitter opponent of abolition, and senior officer in the Confederate Army. He is on record as saying that he would rather be stricken with illness and starvation than see slaves liberated and given equality as citizens,&rdquo; the report read.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, the report described Braxton Bragg, namesake of Fort Bragg, as &ldquo;a slave owning plantation owner and senior Confederate Army officer,&rdquo; generally regarded as inept, &ldquo;temperamental, a harsh disciplinarian, and widely disliked in the pre-Civil War U.S. Army and within the Confederate Army by peers and subordinates alike throughout his career.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In other words, service in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/virginia-school-board-makes-unprecedented-return-confederate-school-names\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Confederate<\/a> cause, distinguished or otherwise, did not in itself merit expulsion from institutional memory. Benning and Bragg committed the additional sins of not having the right views or temperaments.<\/p>\n<p>Surely the reader can see where that sort of strident moralizing about the past ultimately leads.<\/p>\n<p>At the core of modern wokeness lies a belief in one&rsquo;s own moral superiority. And that conviction leads woke activists to make relentless war on everything that does not fit their view of how the world should be.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, they did not seek nuance. Instead, they sought to eradicate everything related to the Confederacy.<\/p>\n<p>And that makes them far more dangerous than the memories of those long-gone Confederate officers.<\/p>\n<p>The renaming of U.S. military bases, for instance, bore a striking resemblance to the 1960s Cultural Revolution in China, when Communist dictator Mao Zedong unleashed legions of Chinese young people, his so-called &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bill-maher-compares-woke-mob-enforcers-maos-cultural-revolution\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Red Guards<\/a>,&rdquo; to destroy everything old and thus make way for a new Communist utopia in which every Chinese man and woman acknowledged himself or herself as subject to the Maoist state alone.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Americans knew that about China at the time.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The traditional big Chinese family apparently is gone, too. Cramped living quarters and social conditions today dictate a small family composed of husband, wife and one to three children,&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1971\/05\/19\/archives\/china-transformed-by-elimination-of-four-olds.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Times<\/a> wrote in 1971.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese Communists destroyed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rnc-chair-condemns-biden-abortion-policy\/\" title=\"RNC chair condemns Biden abortion policy\">traditional family<\/a> on purpose. Americans knew this and yet still fell prey to Maoist wokeness, which reached its apex in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/blm-crashing-hard-support-drops-off-cliff-americans-reach-race-fatigue-new-poll-shows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Black Lives Matter<\/a> orgy of destruction in 2020, as well as in the DEI-inspired &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/law-college-anti-racism-fellow-caught-camera-piling-vicious-hatred-ugly-little-jewish-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">anti-racism<\/a>&rdquo; of that broader, hideous era.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, sensible and patriotic Americans can see Benning, Bragg, and the Confederacy for who and what they were.<\/p>\n<p>On some level, of course, those original base names reflected the ugly racial attitudes of the segregation era.<\/p>\n<p>But they also reflected a key element of the post-Civil War experience: reconciliation. After all, those Southern men who fought the Civil War returned home vanquished, but they also returned home as Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, what should posterity make of Confederate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/learn\/biographies\/james-longstreet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gen. James Longstreet<\/a>, for instance, a close confidante of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/museum-director-gloats-robert-e-lee-statue-melted-secret\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gen. Robert E. Lee<\/a> and one of the Confederacy&rsquo;s most capable commanders, who after the war joined the Republicans and even commanded African-Americans as part of the New Orleans Metropolitan Police Force?<\/p>\n<p>Does the woke mandate to destroy everything related to the Confederacy include the eradication of Longstreet&rsquo;s memory? Surely not, for we cannot constantly judge history by the fashion of our own times.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, one hardly must add that the obsession with renaming military bases overlapped with the Biden administration&rsquo;s catastrophic 2021 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-shows-pay-respects-anniversary-13-americans-killed-afghanistan-kamala-defends-biden-harris-admin-policy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Afghanistan<\/a> withdrawal. Thus, even if the issue of renaming bases did not primarily involve cancerous wokeness, the military still should have other priorities.<\/p>\n<p>In short, whereas strident woke activists regard their own sense of moral superiority as a license to destroy everything old (China-like), sensible and patriotic Americans like Hegseth prefer tradition, humility, and nuance to government by self-righteous tyrants.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
