Ya, those pictographs/etchings had nothing to do with early Indian life either. Keep trying to erase history. Some win some lose but it's still history.

The left is rewriting history and replacing history books. The statues belong in a museum rather than being destroyed. History books are a very small part of a nation’s historical past.

No one is trying to erase history. We don't need statues to remind us of the civil war. Our civil war will never be forgotten. But these statues are reminders for some African Americans that they don't belong.
