    Statues commemorating the Confederacy should not sit on pedestals, uplifted as a celebration in our cities.

        FYI Germany has no memorials for Hitler 'remembering the old days' they have memorials for those who were persecuted and/or killed by Nazi's

        During the revolutionary war, the "rebels" tore down the statue of King George and made musketballs. History factoid

        For a large part of our population they are rightfully seen as the symbol of their oppressors. They are not history but a symbol of hate 1/

        We all cheered when Berlin wall or Lenin statues were destroyed. We should acknowledge those statue have no place in our modern society 2/2

        I see no problem with commemorating it. Our children need to learn and be reminded. Celebrating it is another thing. NO.

        Great idea!!! Sadly, not everyone gets there. I wonder what people tell their children that live in that part of the country.

        They were traitors. Traitors that caused almost a million lost lives should not be honored.

        Not all of them. There is a reason why the people who lost a war were granted statues. This is usually for heroes and winners.

        It might take a work crew or a mob to take a statue down, but it only takes one person about ten minutes to epoxy a dildo to one.

        That's not even the confederate flag it's the Virginia battlefield flag which signifies valor for some southern.
