Operators of the Nash Farm Battlefield Museum in Hampton, Georgia, have decided to close the five-year old Civil War museum after a Henry County commissioner demanded removal of Confederate artifacts.
The museum has been run by a nonprofit organization to commemorate the site of an August 1864 battle in the American Civil War. It’s been housed in a historic building in what has been a Henry County park.
Commissioner Dee Clemmons, an African-American woman, began her demands on the museum with a request to remove a Confederate flag displayed on a flagpole.

It’s like saying slaves never existed. They are wiping away their own history!!!!
What a shame can’t change what happened in the pass.what are leaving for History how you had no common sense.
Without history young black kids will be taught what there parents teach them. Racism is only going to get stronger. For or against it we are the nation we are because of it
What a bunch if idiots
Unreal !black communist
This is so wrong. That’s our history my children’s history . Not up to you to make the choices for me or my family or other families it’s up to us to decide. You are not God.
So sick of this eliminate this, eliminate that because it makes me feel bad, this is the real world and bad things happen, we do not eliminate them we learn from them, so get over it by trying to eliminate something does not mean it did not happen
Why are we allowing 13% (the percentage of blacks in our country) to dictate our history? We as a nation must stop this nonsense now!
I cannot believe that this museum was closed because of one woman. Do you really think this will change history. It happened and many men died. They have been honored by the American Vets, and all American. It was a sad time when brother fought brother. We need to remember the terrible cost in lives. Why would anyone want this closed when it makes such a statement.
Another trouble making idiot these kinda people are destroying this country.
