Robert E. Lee was a traitor, a brute and a slaver who wouldn't even trade black union soldiers taken prisoner for the lives of his own men because he saw black people as property to be owned.https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/06/the-myth-of-the-kindly-general-lee/529038/ …

In a museum, such a statue would include a large plaque explaining how and why the post-segregation South came to build commemorative statues portraying the leaders of the secession in heroic poses. Without that plaque, it's teaching something completely different...

I can see that point of view
-
Most of those statues are relatively new, why put them in a museum? They aren't teaching us anything, and they have no historical significance past an artist wanting to honor the confederacy. Melt it down.
-
The Problem I see w/ that is that removing the statues doesn't remove the mindset, but looses the teaching opportunity that visible statue w/ Plaque has. Don't hide the sins of the past: explain them to not repeat them.

The artist's intent wasn't to teach that the confederacy was bad, the people who funded it didn't want to teach that the confederacy was bad, casual observers don't walk over to a statue commemorating this general and walk away thinking the confederacy was bad. That's nonsense.

Yep! Maybe they could take pics of the confederate monuments before they destroy them. Then put the pics, accurate info about the Civil War & about the Civil Rights Era all together in a museum. Explain how those monuments were made during the JimCrow era. No revisionist history

A museum with that put it in perspective not a museum that glorifies slavery the Grand Old South the institution of slavery. Slavery is it oldest time the type of slavery we had here was horrific

Slavery in Asia was a form of indentured servitude slavery in Africa was a form of indentured servitude slavery and England was a form of indentured servitude but you could change your circumstance. Slavery in America was a generational prison
