The same thing that is happening here. People want to wipe out the history, good and bad. If it doesn't fit the new narrative, its gone.

Unless people start burning books, history is safe. Monuments celebrating racists are not necessary for keeping history alive.
-
Despite your personal feelings on the matter, not all of the removed statues are of racists. Standing for ages, only to be downed now?
-
Russia is building statues for Stalin and Ivan the Terrible. Which country is crazier? One that does that or removes its communist statues?
-
Just seems so alien to me to wipe a slate clean of your historical accounts. People who forget history...
-
Who's wiping what slate? Do you believe monuments to be the only form of historical documentation?
-
Not the only form. But if you think this will start and stop with monuments, you are mistaken. Time will tell, and we will see.

Nah, we won't let anyone forget that half the US was so desperate to keep slaves that they fought the bloodiest war in our history.
