        The only Civil War memorial statues should be for those who fought for the Union. Confederates were traitors and shouldn't be memorialized.

        It should be in a landfill. KY produced four times as many federal troops as Confederates.

        depicts the horrors of that war and the horrors of slavery. Holocaust memorials are memorialize the VICTIMS NOT HITLER. Not equiv at all.

        To be clear with you. I get where you come from, but the making of a country and it's turmoil is not the same as memorializing a genocide

        statues of a time in history, can't change or rewrite it. Rather sanctimonious that some are trying to erase it. Probably from out of state

        Not to change or rewrite it. Just don't think we should have statues honoring traitors/slavers. Put em in a museum. I'm from deep South BTW.
