Hi there!
Are you the social media manager of a historic site noteworthy for the Confederate mass slaughter of surrendering African-American soldiers, described as “one of the bleakest, saddest events in American military history”?
Do you want to share something that will properly acknowledge this event to the public with gravity? Perhaps encourage readers to learn more about an oft-forgotten historical atrocity, particularly during this time of reckoning on the history of racism in this country?
If so, please see this primer on how NOT to commemorate your massacre!
I can’t tell if this is a really badly worded attempt at commemorating the murdered Union soldiers or a straight up neo-Confederate moment. Certainly comes off – shockingly – as the latter.
Word salad seems to be the hallmark of Neo-Confederates.
