Imagine how much greater was hatred of the confederacy as we move back in time closer to the Civil War.

And yet the nation and its people were able to understand and admire Robert E. Lee rather than expunge his history.

But the new leftists and racists destroy everything. They probably hate Grant for his perceived failures after the war, than they hate Lee.

Will a new administration have the balls to bring back our history?

I don’t think that before the current radicalism, black Americans had any hatred for REL.

But we’re living in a more ignorant time.

Pretty sure the average black person had never heard of REL.

Agreed.

If you really look at the movement behind removing Confederate statues, renaming schools for whatever PC reason, etc., the leaders are primarily white urban liberals.
