It would be now. Anything with any link to the antebellum south is being censored and destroyed now. Liberal snowflakes are going to riot to remove Rebels before long, just watch

The only thing left is their name, but I doubt people call that out with so much other stuff going on - like police brutality and institutionalized racism.
That's because a name change isn't necessary. Police brutality and systemic racism is the problem, a name change wont fix that.

Antebellum south was a disgrace. Germany doesn't celebrate the swastika as part of their tradition or history because they know it was a shameful disgrace.

Tell that to Southern cities tearing down statues. Won’t fix anything. It’s “symbolic”

At least we had good architecture. Nazi art and architecture was kitsch and garish for the most part

Definitely not. Just common sense here. Mississippi state is a redneck farm school that has 1 tradition. Which is extremely annoying to the rest of the world.

1)The South seceded. It was not trying to overthrow the duly elected govt of the US. Thus it was not traitorous. The South was an independent nation. The founding fathers were clear in their writings that states had the right to secede because the states had formed the Union and not the other way around.
2) The South never intended to attack the remaining states of the US.

When I was a toddler, I remember asking my dad if "Ole Miss" had anything to do with some lady. I did not know what it meant. He just laughed and said, "no". Said something to the effect that it was a name which showed love and respect for his school. He graduated from Ole Miss back in the 30's.

I’m all for changing the mascot. That’s a positive thing for the university. A simple gesture that will go a long way.

This is the truth. Doesn’t fit their narrative though.

It didn't matter who fired first, Lincoln's intentions were to invade the south and put an end to the opposition for good. He wasn't playing nice. The best way to silence the opposition was having federal troops march down south and aim at anyone one had other ideas.
Lincoln at all costs had to keep the Union in tact. If that meant thousands died for nothing to preserve the Union then he would do it. He was a pragmatic president that would go above the law if necessary to keep the Union together.
Of course succession is illegal because no country is going to allow anyone to leave. Laws are shredded in that scenario. It is only legal if you win your independence.

It’s not the truth. The south knew full well they were going to war when they seceded and formed the confederacy.
The “they attacked first” angle is old confederate propaganda that closeted sympathizers like you still eat up.
Go actually read history books on the subject (not daughters of the confederacy websites).
The U.S. had no choice but to wage war to reign in the villainous confederacy. Without doing so, it would end up like a Korea situation with the confederacy being an isolated, hated country where its own citizens suffered and starved. The U.S. would eventually have to go to war to liberate the confederate states regardless if it they “let them secede” initially. Better to rip the bandaid off.
TLDR: Confederate leaders knew full well they were starting a war. The north striking first was just strategic on their part.

Am I missing something? Or are you saying they didn't expect war?

The first song that President Lincoln asked the band to play after Lee”s surrender was Dixie. If its OK with Lincoln its OK with me.
