        Why not put up monuments to the oppressed slaves rather than to the oppressors? #resist

        India the largest democracy dealt quietly & efficiently with its former Brit rulers statues by resiting many in a Calcutta Park. Job done 😉

        Robert E Lee symbolises patriotism & sacrifice for many Southerners. This is about political correctness, & calculated to cause resentment

        That makes too much sense. Uneducated people are much easier to manipulate

        What better context than celebrating Union victory at the location it took place? Support the fund https://www.gofundme.com/shermans-march-memorial-fund …

        That's not a solution. These are monuments to white supremacy. Putting that in writing doesn't justify leaving them there.

        How about "teaching" monuments of oppressed or opponents of slavery right along side 'em? Balance applies to life and history.

        This is logical/efficient/effective. Even horrific history can teach. It probably doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell. Great idea tho.
