Confederate soldiers becoming U.S. Senators after the civil war

That's different. . . they were democrats.

And pardoned.

Both during and after the American Civil War, pardons for ex-Confederates were given by US Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson and were usually extended for those who had served in the military above the rank of colonel or civilians who had exercised political power under the Confederate government.

Using your ultra partisan leftist ideological argument, it is you who should reject the Democrats who put up those monuments and established the Jim Crow laws.
Guess what?

Nobody is defending the Democratic Governments in those cities that erected those monuments. It was done to spite blacks and civil rights
But its DEMOCRATIC Governments TODAY that are voting to tear down those monuments
 
Only if it's Democrats though yes? Republicans are guilty of their presumed 'crimes' in perpetuity it seems.

The double standard is glaring, obvious, pathetic, immoral.
No, the Repubs used to be the kewl ones until they sold out to industrialists and became asshole conservative money-grubbing assholes in the early part of the 20th century.

So by their logic, if the Dems put up the statues the Dems are the only ones who can take down the statues.

Only because they are no longer politically useful. The fact is the history of the Democrat party is racist among many other things. The history of the Republican party is anti-racist among many other things. It makes it much more difficult for the Democrats to paint the Republicans as the source of all evil and problems in this country if the honest history is allowed to be taught. In fact the Democrats continue their racist heritage by treating black people as inferiors who are incapable of succeeding on their own but must have 'whitey's'/government help. Republicans are much more likely to push for a colorblind society.
 
President McKinley had Confederate generals Joe Wheeler, Fitzhugh Lee, Matthew Butler, and Thomas Rosser as major generals during the Spanish-American War.....He did it to promote unity.

So far I have yet to see any races in the US suffer from a lack of work, or rights.

It goes beyond that

Those monuments were not erected in the years immediately after the Civil War, they were erected 50 to 100 years later.

The communities that voted to erect monuments to Confederate heroes did not allow blacks to vote and had no black representatives.

Today, those communities are run by blacks who want to get rid of those eyesores.

I never did like the old harsh bastards from the turn of the twentieth century I had to live around.

Again with your partisan Bull Shit
It is our South that has a racist history that existed long before there were Democrats.
Democrats in the North did not advocate segregation
Republicans in the South supported it.

Democrats in the north practiced slavery. Lincoln did not free the slaves in the north but only those in states that seceded. Democrats are the ones who most pushed and demanded segregation.

The Democrats are desperately trying to rewrite that history for gullible people who will believe their sanitized histories. And that's a fact.
 
Shouldn't you try a real argument isn't of cute ones like a fan fictioning child?
Kamala Harris relatives owned slaves from reports in Jamaica. We could have cut offs and lines of demarcation. With all of this arguing and accusations we have to make sure the United States stays rich and number one in the world. Also keeping the peace in the Western Hemisphere. We are struggling at this now.
 
Yes, AFTER they were officially pardoned by the President using his pardon powers granted by the Constitution.

This thread is twelve levels of stupid.
Leftards are not very bright. They seem to have great difficulty putting 2 and 2 together. Gee, if there was a pardon it must have been a criminal offense. Yeah, duh.
