This might be news to Neo-Confederates but there is something called history books. These things are bound and covered sheets of paper with all types of written records of the past...

Liberals have such narrow thinking.
He was also formally charged with treason. When Grant retired his commission one of his stipulations was rescinding Lee's treason charges.
Once again, bailed out by the North...

Good. I feel like good compromise is to put the statues in a history museum.

Default As a Unseen Result.

The harder the left and Anitfa makes this a Issue. A new interest in the Civil war is already taking place.


A new light of the misdeeds on the Union and the CSA will come to light. Do not be surprise if the concept of the CSA bubbles up based on Individual Rights and State Rights (10 amendment)


Americans are proud of our History, Good or Bad!

How is taking down a statue erasing history? I think it is good to remove statues of traitors.

Is that where you get your history lessons from -- statues in random parks in random cities across the country.

That's an interesting way of doing it but not highly effective.

If what you are saying is true Mein Kampf, one of the favorite books of the right wouldn't be in available to read anymore...

Or start your own.

Obviously, there's going to plenty of used confederate statues floating around, you could probably get some good deals.
