Confederate Traitors Don't Deserve Respect -- Colin's Last Stand (Episode 14)

The Confederate States of America was a traitorous and racist organization led by selfish cowards that almost universally got away with their crimes. They shouldn't be celebrated, revered, or respected, especially in 2017. Note: This video erroneously states that Jefferson Davis was President of Texas A&M University. He was offered the job, but actually declined. More information can be found in the link below. I apologize for the error. -Colin http://www.yourconroenews.com/opinion/article/Jeff-Davis-could-have-been-first-Texas-A-M-9260846.php Colin's Last Stand is free of baked-in ads, product placement, and other obnoxious forms of advertising because of your support.
