        It's part of a history we as a country should always remember we should also keep the monuments up as a reminder so we should not repeat!

        It's an issue because people are realizing that it's wrong to glorify men who fought to keep some of our neighbors' ancestors enslaved

        I love watching my fellow progressives dodge the fact that most of our presidents have been virulent racists, slavers, and/or genocidal.
