    One of the gross aspects of the Confederate statue debate is self-righteous people whose families weren’t yet in America condemning the monuments so aggressively. Your moral pose is more important, you think, than the ancestors of millions of your fellow Americans. It’s not.

        My family was in Europe during the Civil War and Jim Crow. I have my opinions on all that, of course, and its profound evils. But the understanding that the regime shouldn’t make millions of my fellow Americans despise their families and ancestors—gives me a lot of humility.

        The grotesquery around this debate is a symptom of our modern desire to see history as a simple morality play between forces of Progress and Evil. It’s not that simple; prior generations had reasons for maintaining balance bet condemning South’s cause and honoring the war dead.

        Even bringing up this point gets you attacked by fanatics and the low IQ people who follow them. Won’t stop me, tho.

        I think it comes from Gore Vidal, so due caveats about the source, but Norman Podhoretz once confessed that the American Civil War was as remote to him and his concerns as the War of the Roses...Pod’s had the grace not to constantly pop off about the Civil War, rightly so.

        From the memoir of Confederate general Richard Taylor, son of Zachary Taylor, describing a dinner shortly after Appomattox where a German-born Union officer assured him that the South “would speedily recognize our ignorance and errors…and rejoice in the results of the war.”pic.twitter.com/a1ifaBFKDJ

        My ancestors were Union soldiers who fought to keep the United States united. I’m pissed that there are monuments to the people who tried to kill them and sought to destroy our nation, and expand the evil of slavery. The Confederacy was wrong and should not be glorified.
