There were no other possble outcomes.
Not sure if a defeated Union would have honored its defeated generals.
Thats a good question. One that I had not considered.
Your ignorance is showing. Please stop posting. FR has a reputation for intelligent posters with deep knowledge of US history. YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THEM.
It’s not Trump supporters in that photo. They were democrats.
You cannot tell them that.
Just try it.
Within seconds, they will drag out that idiotic “the parties [magically] switched and are now reversed” mythology of which they are desperately fond.
In their minds, somehow miraculously and retroactively, all those Klansmen were really Republicans in disguise.
Crazy people, all of them.
Just let him ask his questions and ignore if it bothers you. What he obviously meant is how the winning side allowed statues of the losing side to exist post-reconciliation.
you have that backward
Do I have to prove it, again?
Stupidity does bother me.
NOPE. Had our Southern ancestors won their war for INDEPENDENCE, the Unionist generals statues would be in the Northern capitol (I suspect that the USA would have moved their capitol as DC would be within the width of a river from CSA territory.) & Monument Avenue would still be as it was just last week.
Had you actually learned in REAL US history, you would KNOW that not even the most extreme of Dixie’s FIREEATERS, like RUFFIN & STEVENS, wanted to conquer the USA. - The founders of the CSA just wanted THEIR OWN NATION & PEACE w/the USA.

Maybe not, but They had their covetous eyes fixed westward and southward (Mexico) and perpetuation of slavery was written into their constitution.

I do not believe my ancestors were part of the Confederacy and I think we all understand that Davis or even Stephens and the CSA had no desire to govern New York and Boston.
As for the statues, would have each nation (USA and CSA) honored the leaders of one another? For now, does it accomplish anything by removing statues by violence, legislation or executive edict?
As far as I can tell, nothing is accomplished.
fiction or prophesy?
Not me...they do.
They’re posting this insane revision everywhere.
Lunatics deluding themselves and everyone else.
I had a friend in IL that has letters written by Lincoln, since he was their ancestor, that no museum will even look at because of what’s in them.
The supreme irony is that Monument Avenue is adjacent to the Virginia Museum of History and Culture and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts!!!
