Great job, Governor Kemp. Monuments are part of history. Just because, X was on the wrong side of history, was he Y or Z? Who knows, because at the time his views might be the opinion and if he was alive today, he might have a different view! We can’t rewrite history!!
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
I suspect if we lived back then, we would have a different view then we do now.
Was it really the war on northern aggression? Was slavery the reason? Was it to defend states right from the feds?
From what I recall the Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in the southern states.
Bottom line, we moved past it... until now.
