Like it or not The Civil War is a part of our history. Robert E. Lee was a hero in the Mexican/American war. He was reluctant to join the confederacy and only did so because that was what his home state chose to do. In fact, he was very much against secession.

Was their fight honorable or treasonous? Should we remove monuments to them since they took up arms against the U.S.?

We are told by those on the left that there should be an "open and honest" dialog about black history. What better way to start a conversation than to have someone ask the question as to why a piece of art 100+ years old is displayed where it is? Much like the definition of "hate speech" the definition of a "proper monument" is purely subjective. There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. |
