      Some useful reminders here about Grant, who was long hated by the Dunning School; the Dunning school's enemies are now the woke mob's enemies.

      U.S. Grant was declared a slaveholder last night and his statue toppled in Ohio. There was truth there; he owned a slave for two years. But history and human understanding suffered. Grants views evolved over the course of a bloody war to end slavery. By 1863 he #thread

      In 1872, there was what we'd call today a Never Grant movement. Longtime Republicans such as Horace Greeley & Charles Sumner defected to join the anti-Reconstruction Democrats, over a variety of grievances. Frederick Douglass broke with his old friends to stand with Grant & GOP.

      Conservatives may be divided on how much charity to show these many years later towards the relics of the vanquished Confederacy, but few things will unite us like a defense of Washington, Lincoln, & Grant.

      We should not celebrate the Confederacy; the question is whether to leave its monuments be. But damn it, we will celebrate America's Founding & the men who saved it from the Confederacy & freed the slaves.

          Sounds like a plan that 85% of the country would go along with. Just gotta convince your side about the part about “not celebrating the confederacy.”

          We shouldn’t celebrate the Confederacy but the war between the states is part of who we are. Also, Confederate soldiers were more than just people that fought for slavery. They had lives and many had done honorable things during their lives.

          But you can’t leave the monuments be; they are public honorifics to the leaders of the slaveocracy and they continue to be unless they are eliminated. That’s the break point—yes, “all these years later” (and given so many were way past postbellum defenses of Jim Crow), it’s time.

          Any monuments built from the 60s onward should be high on the list to go, as they were likely "screw you" memorials. The older ones should be discussed. Or restored, and then discussed.

          The South lost. Their cause was a bad one. You don't get statues and military bases when you lose. There's no crying in baseball.
