Do people not realize that literary documents of the Civil War exist, or are the people who want to keep the statues up illiterate?

As long as the government doesn't go medieval China on our asses and start burning books and scholars, I think we're fine.

These statues represent hatred and treason, two values I don't think America stands for. Taking them down would be doing us all a favor.
-
The problem is not all these statues represent hate. People need to do their research on these monuments before jumping to conclusion.
-
If the statue is of a Confederate, it IS one of hate. That is what these Confederate soldiers were fighting for. Keeping black ppl enslaved.
-
If the statue isn't of Confederate generals, then that's a different story. But these statues are definitely representative of hate.

Except that most of them are cheap, mass-produced crud, not worthy of sitting in museums. Preserve a few there, but most can be destroyed.

On a case by case basis. Not those cheap, mass produced things and spread around the country by the Daughters of the Confederacy.

They're not 'evidence' of anything, they were built in the 1900's, 1920's and 1950's to intimidate black people.

You should actually read our nations history before commenting!

Most of them were built during the Jim Crow era/Civil Rights era, the CSA built no monuments themselves.pic.twitter.com/sja4UF5Jvj

I love art, but could care less about preserving symbols of oppression. Stick them all in a building called "American Museum of Hate".
