        I'm genuinely surprised he's not suggesting we replace them with statues of himself

        Wonder if POTUS wants to repeal Sedition Act of 1918, so he can posthumously bestow Congressional Medal of Honor on Confederate "heroes?"

        If we leave the statues, we should put up statues of MLK, Denmark Vesey, Nat Turner, Fred Hampton, may be even Stokely Carmichael.

        Davis and Lee's staff did not want surrender at Appomattox. Wanted 25,000 remaining in Army of Northern VA to melt away and reform as terror

        blame Lee, who didn't like slavery. Longstreet was an abolitionist. Grant's family owned slaves. Per Winik in https://www.amazon.com/April-1865-Month-Saved-America-ebook/dp/B0049B1VOA/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1502981762&sr=1-1&keywords=1865 … Jeff

        They educated their slaves and were too nice. Didn't squeeze enough profit out of them. Opportunity for @douglasblackmon , other historians

        FWIW, don't think Lee owned slaves--his Dad blew all their money. His wife's family--Custis--did and other owners despised/laughed at them.

        70% of the country agrees with Trump on preservation. How many votes is monument destruction worth to Dems in upcoming elections?
