Our country is rich with History, the Civil War is part of that History, to deny a faction of it is not going to erase it!

It's not denying history, it's just ceasing the glorification of what was essentially treason
-
If you view the Civil War as treason you do not fully understand what actually caused the civil war!
-
Causes are irrelevant. Making war on the duly elected government of the USA is Treason.
-
Thank you. How that is not readily apparent to some just blows my mind
-
They're invested in revisionism to excuse their slaveholding ancestor's shameful treason. It's why removing celebratory statues matters.
-
"My ancestors died in that war!" Yes, but only they were tricked into fighting for old rich white men who wanted to maintain their power
-
Saddest part is that the same tactic works today. Poor whites are convinced that minorities of all colors and creeds are to blame

Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

those that celebrate unjust wars of aggression to preserve institutions of oppression are doomed to repeat them.

"unjust wars of aggression" you realize that Southern Democrats started calling the Civil War the "War of Northern Aggression" in the 1950s?
-
lol, get outta here with "Democrats are the REAL racists, bro!" heard that one before.
-
I just find it ironic that you chose to say "unjust wars of aggression" in reference to the Civil War... unless you are pro-Confederacy.

There's a difference between removing places where real historical events took place and removing commemorative memorials glorifying hatred
