They are missing the point of the Confederate statues

They are about reconciliation and coming together under one flag, one nation, as one people.

“With Malice Toward None and Charity(Love) for All”

These men fought each other over ideas and once it was over walked across battlefields to shake each other’s hands and hug it out.

They then worked toward making a better America together

“A more perfect union “

Very small and petty people with a certain conceit that enables them to shade the history of what went on and why each side venerated each other.

Very well put and of course correct. But that is moot now that so many have been taken down. To think we got so upset when isis did this.

yes as someone stated statues can be put up. How often in history has that happened?

My Italian-American Brothers in one part of Baltimore are chipping in to build a new statue and they will protect it.

I would love to see my southern brothers start chipping in and getting new monuments built and having them put up under protection of federal law while they have a president who would back it

Wait until they run out of older statues & go after the MLK memorials & street signs.
