        You're better than this. Washington & Jefferson worked to build our country. Confederates tried to destroy it & don't deserve statues.

        Do you have any idea how many SJWs do not want Jefferson or Washington to have monuments because they think they're like Confederates?

        traitorous rogue state dedicated to perpetuating a slaveocracy in perpetutity is obviously different in kind that honoring GW or TJ.

        Moreover, you might ask yourself why the German government doesn't permit Bavaria to honor Goring or Himmler. This isn't a hard call.

        C'mon, the confederacy fought a war against the United States. Any more defeated enemies you think should have monuments on US public land?

        They're fine. Don't believe either of them led a treasonous and armed rebellion against the United States.

        I've heard some on the left say they are slave owners, therefore racists, and these monuments pay tribute to slavery.

        Equating Washington/Jefferson to Lee, Davis, Forrest is intellectually dishonest, not remotely analogous in historical context for US.
