“People across the country are waking up to the reality that these tributes to the Confederacy perpetuate the idea of white supremacy and glorify a regime that supported the torture, murder and enslavement of black people."

Confederacy supported states rights over a centralized all powerful government headed by Lincoln perpetuating myths and fake information is a bad idea

These people need to wake up and really study history. Being Confederate was not just about slavery. This is like stating everyone from Texas rides a horse to work.

Hate to break it to you all, but our country tortured, murdered, stole and indoctrinated Native peoples. Some still in 3rd World country conditions. Some Native ppl would like to see Andrew Jackson statues taken away. Are we going to do that too? The world is full of injustice.

The left doesn't like history because it makes them feel bad. You need to have history on display both good and bad to have the discussion of our mistakes and how far we have come.

Guess we want to be like Germany and deny a significant portion of our history just because we aren't proud of it.

that's a bunch of horseshit if I ever heard it what about all the concentration camps over in Germany they're not taking them down
live with it learn from it and let slavery not happen again but don't take down down everything it wasn't all about slavery
