I believe the Union and Confederacy fought over who is supreme, northern states or southern states, federal or state government . Could've been over anything.
And the facts show this. The North wanted to preserve the Union. The South wanted to keep slavery. What you believe vs what is do not match. Now, based on the fact, why would I want Confederate statues to remain up? What's in it for me?
I see confederate statues like Robert E. Lee as white historical figures. If you remove one and it's not replaced with another white historical figure like Washington or Jefferson, then it is just canceling.
I’m curious how you define a “historical figure” ? Normally statues placed in front of state capitols, city centers, etc. in order to honor heroes, etc.
By your personal definition would you consider people like John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, James Earl Ray or Mark David Chapman to be “white historical figures” ?
What about Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Ted Kaczynski or Timothy McVeigh? Are they “white historical figures” in your opinion?

Cancel culture trash won’t be content until they not only remove all things white but us whites too.

Or could be for the bankers. There's a old saying who said all wars are bankers wars.....
Ignore them. I don’t like seeing BLM painted on streets or elsewhere. Too bad for me.
I know right. I have to ignore every new eye and ear sore under the sun Democrat policies create. And Dems are so intolerant and bigoted they can't ignore an over 100 year old historical statue ?

They had to have popular support in their era and not been doing something universally accepted as wrong or immoral or criminal in their era. You are making apples and oranges comparisons.
