        This is at least blessed news. I'm so glad to see those monuments go down. I never understood why we had them still.

        Monuments are built to honor something or someone. They were not erected for the purpose you stated.

        I agree like the buildings they keep as monuments in Germany. Those are to remember. Not these

        You won't find any statues of or monuments to Hitler in Germany.

        Nazi Germany and the South is a false equivalence. The CSA existed to maintain a status quo. Fascism's emergence was far different

        If anything, that makes the crimes of the South worse.

        More monuments need to go down, down. There are 700 left, far too many. They do not mean a thing. We should focus on the path ahead.

        Germans sure know what went wrong back then. It doesn't need a Hitler statue for that. No statue doesn't mean no history.

        That would be a compelling argument against being a Democrat if we lived in 1860.
