Why do you want statues of losers that fought a war that is anti-America of today? Statues often erected decades after the war was over designed to suppress minorities. Why should we "honor" people on the losing side?

It is an interesting exercise watching one politician after another cave to triggered snowflake mobs. I guess anything for votes.

Discussion, debate and votes no longer matter. It is about mob rule now. The ends justify the means as they say.

Yeah, the time for all that has passed. The legislature forgot they represent all the people of the state of NC even the darker ones. So the people went all Boston tea party and wow, that still works! They could have stayed in power if they hadn’t been so anti constituent but hey, November’s coming.
