Count-arguments: should we have left Nazi concentration camps intact? Or the Tower of London? Or the Sphinx-possibly created by slave labor?
-
All good questions! I'd say, if Americans were willing to treat CSA monuments the same way Germans treat concentration camps, absolutely.
-
As examples of past horrors, lessons for what not to do going forward? D'accord!
-
If can push on boundary a bit: elsewhere we preserve monuments to even those, such as Alexander the Great, suspected of mass slaughter
-
Even though that means there will be some who identify with / take vicarious pride in, that person's actions, and/or overlook their misdeeds
-
Having said this, Corey Stewart is overgeneralizing, facile, and wrong in claiming that monument removals make us "just like ISIS."
