Since the left is mortified and offended by Civil War Southern Generals, Southern Leaders and All POTUS up to and during that time, except Lincoln..Lets change your last name too...
I propose that all people that have last names that are representative of the Civil War Generals/Politicians of the South, and any POTUS, etc that owned slaves be changed too. This will make you feel better, i am sure, as your feelings are hurt..
So, go through the process of changing your name to something more universally accepted.. Like Clinton, nope, they were rednecks from Arkansas, or Byrd, nope he was KKK, or ....Mine, nope my family name had something to do with civil rights, and i dont want people jumping on the bandwagon...
Oh, just make up one, I am sure you will find one that doesnt offend you.

You're angry.

Relax.

America is finally growing up and moving beyond the treason of a century and a half ago.

All real Americans know which side to stand on.

I think it is disgusting. We are destined to re-live history if we do not remember it. This is a reflection of the domination of the far left in Media, Education, and City government.

Is it really so hard to comprehend that here is a difference between remembering history and glorifying a failed insurrection through monuments and statues.

We can remember our history in books. There is no reason to glorify insurrectionists or the failed policies of Jim Crow through statues and other monuments.

pull-EEZ!

Pubs have been rejoicing over their complete dominance at all levels of government.

They should take responsibility for their epic failures. After all, taking responsibility is another one of their big talking points. Now it's time to stop glorifying a failed treasonous rebellion. That's the true history that should be remembered and never "celebrated."

Some of us refuse to accept your PC version of America. Erasing history is the stuff of Nazis, taliban and commies. PC is about silencing freedom of speech in order to secure the liberal position from any challenges. Remember there are a lot of us, enough that republicans won the election. Also remember that a great many of us live in those old confederate states that currently are having thier history and culture attacked. Don't like statues to the confederacy? Keep it up and maybe you will be fighting the NEW confederacy. I hate the liberals, I hate thier freedom America hating ways, I hate them and would gladly put on a grey uniform if the time ever called for it. Think that's crazy talk? More and more you hear discussion of a possible second American civil war, we are easily as divided as we were in the 1850s. I am starting to think we will never settle these issues peacefully. The libs refuse to respect our rights and we refuse to give in and live in thier world. The funny thing about all of it is the libs think they will win again like it's still 1865. Things will go much worse for y'all if you start another war. We are prosperous, industrialized, well armed and we are tougher. Our military is made of of red state folks and most of the bases are here too. Really I am not sure what cards blue state America would hol in a civil war. Oh I guess y'all protest better than us

Slavery was a very sad part of American History. The troubling part is how the alt-right REJOICES in reliving it....Civil War re-enactments, monuments, marches. You won't see any Third Reich re-enactments in Germany. Hitler is in their history books, but he is not glorified. After all, he LOST the war. And so did the confederacy. Neither should have public monuments.
