Over the past several months, there has been an alarming trend in our country. First they wanted to remove all traces of the Confederate Flag (thank you SC! I roll my eyes at your lack of spine); now they want to tear down all 'Rebel' monuments.
Have they never heard 'those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it'? If you destroy all historic monuments to the Confederate side of the Civil War, what does that teach the next generation?
Leave Stone Mountain alone. Leave the stained glass window in that church in Virginia, a testament to Stonewall Jackson the MAN alone.
Should we sandblast Mt. Rushmore, because Jefferson was a slave owner? What about his contributions to expanding this magnificent country of ours?
Destroy the Jefferson Davis Memorial? What about the OTHER side of the war's story? If you don't present both sides of the war, future generations will think only the Union's side mattered. Just because we won doesn't mean we didn't make mistakes too. Lincoln was assassinated, and his follow-up plan was never put into place.
What's next, remove all traces of the Revolutionary War, just because now England is our ally?
Idiots.
