It is our history and we cannot change it, we can only forget it. That is why statues are meant to remind us.

This is not about the “Confederacy” or “slaves” or any other such thing.
This is the left punishing the right in the dirtiest way they know how, because, in their demented, conceited little minds, “ignorant rednecks” voted Trump in.
Whether you like or not, whether you loathe the Confederates or not, they still see *you* as a redneck rebel, too.
We’re ALL Dixie, now.[Salamander©2015]
And they’re determined to eradicate us, be it symbolically or literally, one way or another.
People are simply not seeing the devious strategy behind this sudden “concern” for all things Confederate., which is merely a code word for “white”.
Pure Alinksy tactics.
And it’s succeeding.

I don’t believe you should be allowed on public property. Guess neither of us will get our WISH unless someone goes to extra effort. History is history. You don’t get to pick and choose what the rest of us want and what’s part of history. I see you in the not to distance crying under your bed when they deem you unneeded. You will want people then to defend your rights but you say to hell with others so I hope for your sake Karma isn’t a bitch but it is. Just remember this self superior feeling and when the time comes know it came full circle.
Monument capitulation isn’t the end it’s the start of a war on America.
“I have never been enamored of the Confederacy. I have an ancestor who fought them.”
My family tree was firmly planted in Kentucky, a “border state” at the time where it was brother against brother literally. Consequently, I had ancestors on both sides. Like everyone else via public education we only heard one side of the story. In recent years I revisited the subject and came to different conclusions. If democrats/antifa types are against something that should be your clue as to what to be for. We are not fighting the war of 1861 but of 2017.Totally different reasons. You seem to be trending the right direction. I have the battle flag and bonnie blue.
never owned a Confederate flag, except in this set of Civil War figurines I bought in NYS..
will never buy a confederate flag...
statues are pieces of art....
they should stay...
look at the crap they put up now as public "art"....metallic blobs of who knows what that we simpleton sheeple are supposed to appreciate and respect, and PAY FOR...
To suppose that Confederate statues are only about slavery is false argument. While slavery played a part most of the solders were not fighting to defend slavery. Most fought because of states rights and taxes. Very few Southerners could afford to own a slave. Some examples of wages at that time are Bricklayer $ 1.53/day Firemen $ 1.33/day Farm Labor $ 0.88/day . Since the south was almost wholly an agriculture economy $.89 a day would have been what the majority were working for. The average cost of a slave was between $700 and $2000 approximately so it absurd to think they owned slaves. To say the Civil war was fought over slavery is also absurd. Four slave states were part of the Union. U.S. Grant maintained ownership of his slaves till after the war was over. A little much to be fighting slavery when your Commanding General is a slaveholder. This whole argument is not about slavery or statues....it’s about the left overturning an election...I assure you a Marxist cares nothing about human rights!!!
We loved traveling down Confederate Ave and stopping at/viewing the huge memorial statues at publicly=owned Gettysburg National Military Park. It’s insane to capitulate to these marxists, without a real fight.
