    How about for every confederate statue we take down put up two of a northern winner? Wouldn’t that preserve a more accurate history?

    Remind us all again, who is trying to hide history by removing and tearing down statutes?

    So you want to replace statutes of southern slave owners (because they were slave owners) with statutes of Northern slave owners because that would preserve a more accurate account of history.
    PERFECT

    No, I want to remove statues of traitors and replace them with victorious patriots. Confederate statues are just participation trophies

    Those who died defending their homes, their farms, their livestock, their equipment, their businesses, their products, their city halls and courts, their churches, their FAMILIES from the total destruction brought down on them by the invading US military hellbent on that death and destruction.

    But this memorial is about the RECONCILIATION which Lincoln declared necessary and why he sent his troops on their mission. Why is it being removed which it repesents such an important moment in our history. Don't you believe the people who lived it who were actually there are the better judges of such matters?

    Oh, so want to virtue signal. Got it
    Since we can't divide the country by who owned slaves, lets do it telling half the country they are ancestors of traitors.
    No way that will go off the rails.
    Oh wait, then we have to explain how Democrats were the traitors to America while Republicans fought against them to stop them from continuing slavery.
    Thank you for again, giving the perfect thought process of Democrats.
    I hope you continue to share these amazing thoughts with the class.

    So who is this woman and why is she a villain? Why is she making a peace offering if she's so evil?

    How is celebrating the victors hiding history? Illogical. Do we need binladen monuments in NY to remember 911?

    Their ancestors were traitors. Them snowflakes need to get over it. Stop trying to hide their history. I lose no sleep over the knowledge that my moms ancestors were traitors.

    She is the statue that is being removed. You said that statues were erected to recognize heros. Not villains. If people want it removed, isn't it logical that it would be because she's a villain? Why would you want to remove a statue of a hero?

    It's your logic. I'm just trying to go with it.

    You need to read my post more carefully.

    I’ll repeat the important part.

    If a the person represented by the statue is no longer seen to be the hero he once was

    You will note I didn’t say someone had to be a villain to have the statue moved. Just no longer seen as the hero they once were.

    It is usually better to let monuments stand. Bronze informational plaques clarifying the historical record can always be added.
    erasing history is too common and dangerous.

    I don't see how that is important at all.

    Not that it matters, but did the United Daughters of the Confederacy declare that they no longer consider those persons heroes? Link?

    Says the party destroying and removing statutes.

    Oh, so you blame your mom but they aren't your ancestors.
    Keep posting, this is great information as to left wing mindsets these days.

    Hey, as long as it includes both sides of the WHOLE STORY, I'm good with it! It's bullshit of hiding everything bad and only promoting the sunny side of history thats wrong and clearly censorship.

    Is this what you and you comrades are promoting here?

    It's actually alarming.. I sometimes wonder if the left pretend to be what we read here JUST to play the role of the heal, like pro wrestlers do.. I sincerely hope that's their game, if not, it's some sad stuff to be coming from AMERICANS(?)

    Erecting is different than demolition.. Even if, as long as it tells the history of him honestly I have no problem with it..

    Lol I don’t blame my mom, where did you get that nonsense. I’m just making the distinction between her side and my dads, who didn’t get here until after slavery. Obviously her ancestors are mine also.
