Serious question? Do you know anything about Fayetteville's Civil War History?

1. It was burned completely to the ground twice during the Civil War.

2. Students from the University of Arkansas (At that time was under a different college name before land grant money was given to start a new college) fought for the south.

LINK from the University of Arkansas and the gentleman's book.



The house stands today off right off Dickson street that bares cannon ball marks from the Civil War. It served as the headquarters for both the Union and Confederate armies as they fought over the city of Fayetteville for two years. The city was burned to the ground not once but twice over this. Awful, because we lost so many beautiful huge antebellum houses. As each army retreated they tried to burn the houses on their way out only to find new ones when invading again. Very interesting.



Next time walk slightly off Dickson Street and take a look the cannon ball marks are still there and it's pretty badass. Not to mention Dickson Street has been a road in town since 1828 and served as a outdoor hospital for both armies.

Bentonville and Fayetteville both have CSA statues saluting the NWA region who overwhelming fought for the CSA just like the rest of the state.



Do you know what a Sun down town is? If you don't it was a racist town with signs posted about black people better not be caught outside when the sun went down. That was the ENTIRE NWA region until 15 years ago. These are history and facts.

You can't say Fayetteville isn't southern in culture. The only thing you can say is it is overrun with northerners heading south out of union run states. The entire south is having a problem with this not just Fayetteville. I am all for diversity in NWA because it has changed so much in the past 15 years.

Do you also realize Little Rock is almost 50% minority and it's out largest city. I know you don't know much about Arkansas but it is one of the most segregated states in the entire union. Just a history lesson for you.

Oh, the former chancellor's house was burned to the ground during the civil war which would've become the house for the new college.. "University of Arkansas" land grant after the civil war.

Speed up to 1949. Arkansas let in their first black law student because he was a WW2 multiple decorated veteran as in the text they where forced to take him. He never graduated and they documentation was buried until this year.


This is his statue sitting outside of Old Main on campus today.

History lesson for you and the board.
