    All these folks worried about erasing history when the Confederate statues come down will be thrilled to learn about the existence of books.

        The argument "let's not erase history" vis a vis monuments erected to *honor* Confederacy is bunk: we do have history books, you know.

        And libraries! We actually lend books for free! Self-serving comment from a librarian.

        As a general rule a nation doesn't erect statues to honor traitors who took up arms against the nation causing the death of 620,000 citizens

        I guess that general rule does not apply to the South where they not only honor those who took up arms against the nation but who also led them to a well-deserved, resounding, humiliating defeat. If that ain't dumb, what is?

        Books can be burnt... the past is important often not because it was good, but because it wasn't. God forbid we make the same mistakes againpic.twitter.com/rd7tVW3IjB

        Writing a book is a record of history, erecting a statue is an act of celebration, honor, and a constant reminder.
