I can’t say I care or understand the confederate statue thing much, but, as a non American, it strikes me as ethnic cleansing.
They are pulling down your statues so as to pretend you were never there.
It’s the same thing the Arab immigrants in Gaza and the West Bank do to Jewish archaeological sites. They claim to be native and destoy 3500 years of evidence to the contrary.
The process will be a lot easier in America.
States rights. Before "the war" the states were superior or at least equal to the federal. After, the opposite. But what really sealed the federal power take over was the 17th amendment.
To me, CSA symbols remind us of a time when the states had more control and authority to govern than the federal which is how it was designed to be. State-ist hate those symbols.
It’s Democrats trying to erase their disgraceful past. The Confederacy was created by Southern Democrats.
