That doesn’t make them heros to be memorialized in statues. Time to move these to museums before the rest are destroyed. Painful for some, but in the end they will be gone. Do it the easy way or the hard way. I’d prefer they be saved, moved, protected, put in a museum, allow our kids and future generations learn about the Civil War, about all these important aspects of our history.
Here in Richmond we have an entire avenue called Monument Avenue which features statues to J.E.B. Stuart, Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Matthew Maury (pathfinder of the seas whose charts are still used).
Should we tear them down and rename it MLK Blvd?
