Do you notice that showing compassion for those who fought on the losing side, giving their lives to defend their country, is seen as a good thing, except when we’re talking about Confederates?

We did that for a century.

What's going on now may just be a blip.

If it is, I hope we don't go back to maligning abolitionists and supporters of Reconstruction, the way we used to.

You make a good point. Consider John Brown. He’s a complex character. Yet, to cut to the bottom line, he was a terrorist.

He makes a good history lesson.

But, what’s fair is fair. Shouldn’t this statue be taken down or at least covered in burlap.
