Sterilize history to make you feel better. This is a slippery slope.
-
No, actually erecting monuments glorifying the LOSERS of a war IS sanitizing history. Hard, true history is studied in books, museums...
-
That content is sanitized too.

They are participation trophies, generally erected during the Jim Crow era. Celebrate those that fought for a traitor nation? No thanks.

So why was there not an uproar during the last 8 years? BS

There was. You clearly don't live in or pay attention to the South. We've been removing monuments for years amidst protests from both sides.

Well I live in Tn which is the South. they have not been removing monuments around here for past years

I live in south Louisiana, almost as south as you can get. This movement has been in the Deep South for years & now it's spreading northward

Publicly commemorating confederate leaders is similar to publicly commemorating Nazi generals. Both were enemies of & fought against the US.
