You must believe round pegs are for square holes? Stop the gay crap long enough to see I was talking about the only thing in a statue that could offend me because of my beliefs. I might let people know how I felt then and try to have them removed.
Women lost husbands and sons that never owned a slave; they just landed near here and grew the f up best they could. They were chased down and killed by the North, who would kill anyone standing in their way to keep the Union intact. The south died and lost because of the Henry Repeating Rifle...game changer. Never saw Josey Wales with a slave. You killed us once, so go ahead and tear down the Monuments. Stand up and say how much better you are than southerners. I do not believe in slavery, but statues of dead men do not bother me. While you're growing up, remember children are our responsibility. Lead them down the wrong path and you will be held accountable. You will be reminded of it daily.
Watch all the idiots ranting in your streets.
Read my other post. There were more fighting for the right to live than the right to own slaves. The word bigot comes to mind. Do people really actually think everyone was fighting so they could own a slave? The word stupidity comes to mind.
I did. Yes of course not everyone in the south was fighting for the right to own slaves, and not everyone in the north was fighting to free them. Robert E. Lee may never have owned slaves, but he apparently left it up to God to decide when slavery ended, and he allowed his own men to capture slaves. The confederate constitution itself endorsed the preservation of a crime against humanity. That inevitably affects the legacy of any leader or hero associated with the confederacy, including their memorials. I'll make the cliched but appropriate point that there were good people in Nazi Germany too, but the state endorsement of a crime against humanity, and the complicity (willing or not) of the citizenry destroyed the reputation of the country and put a shroud over related monuments from that era.
Do claims of bigotry and stupidity also apply to assuming that all southerners endorse keeping the monuments, at least any more than all Confederates endorsed slavery or all Union soldiers wanted it gone? As was mentioned earlier, in Charlottesville the decision to take the statue down was made by the city council. Locals. What does that say?
