ISIS is doing the same. They are also destroying any resemblance of history that they don't agree with in every city they take over.

They didnt take down a flag. They took down a statue of a general who promoted slavery.

I dont understand how anyone can support destroying a 103 year old monument. Cultural genocide. Its not like it was built in 1980.
-
Not destroyed, removed, until a more suitable location is found by the Missouri Civil War Museum.
-
Are we going to remove the Pantheon and put it into a Museum too? How about the Colosseum because slaves were traded and forced to kill?
-
Lol. You're funny. Those monuments aren't perceived to be wholly representative of the oppression of specific ethnic groups.
-
So the slaves that the Romans captured of non-Roman ethnicity's didn't represent oppression of those groups?
-
They aren't perceived to be wholly representative of slavery, no.
-
Doesn't matter what it is perceived, it matters what IT IS. Those were just as oppressive as the Confederates.
-
Perception always matters. Especially in modern history.
