    When asked if her city’s statue of Robert E. Lee is a war memorial or a symbol of white supremacy, Charlotte City Council member Nikuyah Walker said “that statue went up in the '20s. The war ended long before that” https://cbsn.ws/2w5avbi pic.twitter.com/plIvEuryne

        But you can't censor history, yes America had bad times but you Can't just take down a piece of history, I'm a History fanatic, It feels like in the Future if this statue was taken down that the next thing would be that Teachers wouldn't be allowed to teach Civil War---

        And Why would you try to Censor History? Tbh it seems like people get offended by almost anything, I'm Mixed Race and I don't get offended easily, I feel as if people should think the statues as a part of history, not a symbol of Racism, it has nothing to do with Racism

        It's around the time that the stock market crashed, and the government started various work programs, paying people to build stuff, in an effort to get the economy moving.

        >In 1912, Theodore Roosevelt ran as a third-party candidate in the Progressive ("Bull Moose") Party, leading to a switch of political platforms between the Democratic and Republican Party and Woodrow Wilson being elected as the first fiscally progressive Democrat.

        Senator Byrd served a long career in Congress, including serving as Senate majority leader for the democrats. In the 1940s, he recruited 150 people to form a new chapter of the KKK in his state.

        People who defend the concept of 'The Lost Cause' should stop blinding or deluding themselves about the Civil War.
