>>>Somebody needs to set up a GoFundMe page to build and erect five Confederate statues for every one they take down.
Since statues are necessary for the teaching of history, how about we erect some Sherman, Grant and Lincoln statues in city squares across the South?

Because statues of Sherman, Grant, and Lincoln would all be torn down. Sherman was a virulent racist, as was 99.9% of the North’s population. Grant wrote anti-Semitic thoughts and totally hated Jews (feel free to Google articles about Grant’s Jew-hatred). Grant also owned a slave. Lincoln was a white supremacist. During the Lincoln-Douglas debates, Lincoln made clear that whites and blacks were not equal. He opposed blacks having the right to vote, serve on juries, and an Illinois law that PROHIBITED ALL BLACKS from entering the State of Illinois. Lincoln also supported shipping all blacks back to Africa.
The reason why it is moronic to tear Confederate statues down is because it being done so on the premise that Southerners fought to “preserve white supremacy.” LOL. They fought the war because the South was attacked. And they seceded in the first place because Lincoln was the first “sectional” president who would totally screw over southern interests that extended well beyond slavery.
