Mw, today's southern democrats who didn't fight in the Civil War realize now the South lost. The same democrats that didn't fight in the Civil War want reparations for something they didn't fight for. If you remove history then you remove all of it. Not pick & chose for yourself
I don't like idolatrous statues in general, but this is being done for the wrong reasons. This is part of U.S. history. Either you take down ALL civil war statues for theological reasons or you keep BOTH Union and Confederate statues up for historical reasons.
