This is all idiotic driven agenda. Pretending like war monuments are driving or extending racism is just stupid. Most of these protesters had zero ideas that these monuments existed. I wonder if any of them realize these are based on federally recognized (U.S. Code 38) war veterans also? In any case, while many of the countries leaders had questionable pasts by today's standards, it is what is and there is a thing called progression. Do we tear down or destroy everything with a link to a questionable past? (Indian War and Mexican-American War to name a few) Heck, the United States exists based on a questionable and treasonous past. We should be Brittish! Meh, it's all cherry picked stupidity to further drive a wedge between not only races but eventually the government and the people. Sadly, this may just be the beginning.

Fun fact: Free blacks in the Confederacy outnumbered those in the Union! They even fought for their side during the civil war (https://www.census.gov/history/www/throu.../1860.html)
