        Perhaps the Colosseum in Rome should be taken down. I understand some terrible things went on there.

        There is a lot to learn from history & terrible stories may be more important than our triumphs. Don't erase history or it will be repeated

        This is why they should be removed from the public square and put in proper context describing the horrors of the confederacy.

        It may be history, but it doesn't deserve to be celebrated. Tear it down, put it in a museum or destroy it. It's racist.

        I think the ? is, is it pride or is it history? We should not ignore our troubled past. But it doesn't mean all memorials are proud ones.

        Intent is important. Do they relish in the slavery with it, or do they remember our counties divided past, as a way to avoid it again.

        I'm no fan of the Confederacy but when do we get to stop pretending the Civil War was about slavery?

        Slavery was essentially the only thing it was about. Have you even read the declarations made by seceding states?

        So...if the Confederacy had won, would it be acceptable to destroy Union icons etc?

        Yes. Do you understand history? Do you wish to remove all memory of the vanquished ?

        If so, then what's the point of removal, if it's not being taught? I understand your point... I do, but what's next, NUKE Mississippi?

        Or celebrate the bigotry with larger than life imagery. History is important but is it nec to b reminded that you are considered less than?

        I don't think it's an all or nothing solution. What better way 2show that systematic ignorance than to have it sitting there 2c?
