I love American History, i have a degree in American history. There is ZERO reason for a statue of a president of a failed treasonous government to still be displayed. Put it in a museum, auction it off to a collector. Jefferson Davis serves no bearing in todays society.

Put the proceeds towards the United Negro College Fund to disincentivize "collectors" with nastier underlying motives.

America, do not forget your past, do not forget your presidents. Venezuela did that and now we have a communist dictatorship that has lasted over 20 years. Statues help us remember the past and avoid mistakes.

"You can't erase history." Some of us don't have to look at the pictures. We learned how to read instead. The statues aren't facts. They're things. I guess it's easy to mix up the two because this is the most common complaint that I've heard.

Their purpose is so that we dont forget about this things in our every day lives. I'm not gonna read a civil war book every day but a statue will remind me every time I see it of our past mistakes. They want the statues down so Americans forget and they can do it again

You can’t erase history by demolishing a statue. It is what it is. Embrace it and make a change. You’re like kids burning down a high school to rid yourselves of the bad memories. Get a grip people.
