A Confederate plaque has been taken down from the Texas state Capitol after a bipartisan effort from lawmakers to have it removed.


State officials on the Preservation Board voted unanimously on Friday to remove the “Children of the Confederacy Creed” that claimed that slavery was not the root cause of the Civil War.

State Rep. Eric Johnson (D) tweeted Sunday a photo of the blank wall, showing that the plaque has been removed, but noted that its new whereabouts are unknown.


Its removal marks the latest development in efforts nationwide to remove statues and other monuments honoring the Confederacy. At least 113 Confederate monuments have been removed since 2015

Sounds like Eric Johnson and anyone else supporting this don't know history.
 
how could've it been treason against a foreign power genius?

It wasn't a foreign power. Those that seceded with the Declaration of Independence were British citizens. However, if you want to argue they didn't commit treason, neither did the Confederates.
