We don't always put up statues to important people in history. There are no statues of Hitler or Mussolini anywhere in Europe so far as I know. The problem with statues of former Confederate generals is that they were the South's way of saying "Our cause was just," which it manifestly wasn't, and they also served as reminders that the racist philosophy that these men fought for was still alive.
If you think slavery was "their cause" you are vastly uninformed. ( I put that politely)
That has been totally disproved many times ( with quotes from all involved) - it IS the current position of the party of slavery, the democrats though, but it is really an example of how totally delusional and completely dishonest they actually are.
This is about brain dead stupidity and cultural genocide and race division an keeping everyone occupied with stupid crap...
