        We cannot erase history. But we can embrace a respectful future. The statues should be placed in museums to remind people of what not to do.

        In my opinion all monuments should be saved. If not for their artistic value, then as reminders for generations to come.

        Why dyu think Germans don't do statues of Hitler on streets? Even though He's a significant part of their History.

        Lessons from Germany should serve as a cautionary tale for Americans rushing to destroy every Confederate monument within reach. WP

        So you're ashamed about what we did in the past but not ashamed of destroying and defacing history?

        What if a statue stays up but another statue goes up right next to it showing a victim of their oppression?

        Exactly, that is just one of the countless possible solutions that could be thought of instead of destroying them.

        The man was a traitor to the US who fought against freedom, and for his "right" to own people. A racist who does not deserve and monument.
