According to this source there are 1,503 public Confederate memorials, of which 60 have been removed = 4%.
Where were they removed to? Private property.
How many were actually destroyed? A handful, maybe.
Typical is one to Jefferson Davis in Biloxi, Mississippi:
As you can see, it had nothing to do with "American Taliban."
Uncle Sham: "Just remember, we have sledgehammers too. "
And so while making false accusations against me, you self-identify as American Taliban, eager to destroy monuments you dislike.
Uncle Sham: "Demonizing those who fought to defend themselves against the tyranny brought forth by YOUR ancestors which has only grown worse with each passing decade is your way of trying to FORCE us once again into submission."
Nobody on Free Republic demonizes your ancestors, FRiend, while posters like yourself constantly demonize mine.
Why is that?

It is entirely the PC Revisionists who have done that. Meanwhile the statue of an infamous war criminal like Sherman stands unmolested in NY’s Central Park as well as several sites in Ohio.
This debate/discussion is much wider than just Free Republic. There is no doubt it is the South’s legacy, history, traditions and culture that has been demonized by the Left. Meanwhile even more conservative Midwesterners and those few Northeasterners who are not actually part of the Leftist PC Revisionist cabal sit back and say nothing while the South is constantly unfairlyvdenigrated. Why is that? Do you really think YOUR history is safe? They are already moving on to Thomas Jefferson now.
