You were saying it's a slippery slope from removing Confederate monuments to removing monuments to presidents like Jackson. I'm saying it isn't, because most people dislike Andrew Jackson and would be fine with bumping him off the currency, among other things. Not much a slippery slope, that one.
That's because contributed the 2nd most soldiers to the CSA and we are tied with VA for highest number of deaths.
Kentucky contributed more soldiers to the Union than the Confederacy. Why do they have ten times more confederate monuments, other than to fetishize and worship at the altar of white supremacy? Not for history lessons, that's for sure.

Sorry you weren't clear. I suspect New Orleans will have to cease to exist before the statue of Jackson comes down there.
Those monuments are dedicated to the Americans that lost their lives in those wars. The Confederates were not Americans by definition.
Untrue. The United States never recognized the CSA, thus no citizenship ever changed. And that has nothing to do with either my post, nor the post I was responding to.
The native americans would say there are no good guys. Slaves transported to this country in the cargo holds of ships owned by northern merchants would say there are no good guys. Children exploited in New England textile mills would say there are no good guys. Etc., etc. The concept that southerners were/are bad and northerners were/are good is laughable.
