Which part do you find to be flowy? That all just looks like accurate statements. 15 and 16 year old kids defending the campus is an amazing thing.

This idea that everyone who fought for the Confederacy should be denigrated is ridiculous. Might be the most embarrassing thing about this generation.

Not to mention this monument is only about 1000' away from a literal slave cemetery.

And a bit too "fake news." One of my Civil War history professors at UA said there was no glorious defense of the campus by the Corps of Cadets. They instead got on the road and marched to Greensboro. Essentially the only person who was there to defend the campus was the president's wife who pleaded with the Union cavalry officers not to burn down the president's mansion.
