“Culture war” is an unhelpful phrase; obscures instead of informs.
Neo-Confederates oppose extending equal rights, equal justice, & civil liberties to every person — regardless of our race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation — in a multiracial, pluralistic democracy.
That’s not about culture.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.
Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.
