Hegseth defends returning Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery

Those confederate monuments were all about making the civil war seem not so bad and that the confederates weren't traitors.

But it was that bad and they were indeed traitors.

Plus they lost.
Confederates weren’t traitors at all…Our Founders gave us a Second Amendment so we could rise up against a tyrannical government and that’s exactly what the south did. They simply acted on Founder intent.
Make no mistake, Confederates are America’s greatest badasses.
 
Confederates weren’t traitors at all…...
They were adherents to slavery, traitors, deserters, and ultimately quitters and cowards. YOU would have fit right in.

That’s what all woke white-guilt feel-gooder globalist fools have to say….that’s the default go-to. Now try to think like someone with courage.
 
Correct.

It is telling that the "confederate flag", that is the most used symbol of the confederacy,

is actually a battle flag, not one of the actual national flags of the confederacy.


It is odd when large groups make "decisions", but it is telling that the symbol that became a symbol of regional pride as part of the larger US patriotism,

is a symbol of the south's primary fighting force, and NOT one of the symbols of the POLITICAL GOVERNMENT of the rebellion.


The meaning is clear. This is about the PEOPLE, as you said, not the POLICIES or GOALS of the rebellion.

It is a BIG DIFFERENCE.

So, let's not play dumb and ignore that difference.
It's unfortunate those ignorant people would latch onto that failed and notorious symbol. It doesn't reflect anything anymore. A reminder of hatred and injustice.
 
y'know, kid, your attitude was prevalent in the 1860s, 1870s, and 1880s.

but unlike like you, America has moved on.

you claim to be 'woke,

but, it's obvious you aren't.
LMAO!! maybe you have moved on but history is still the same, kiddo.

Which you kids may regret if tRump doesn't stop what he's doing.

BTW, rewriting history is a sad tactic, don't do it.
 
The theme of the statue is “peace for the living and honor to the dead". Anyone ignorant enough to remove the statue should educate themselves on the history following the Civil War.
 
Lame….they did it too excuse

By 1860, most of the civilized world had moved away from slavery.
The US doubled down as the South fought a war to preserve it
Even more troubling was the US enforcing Jim Crow segregation for a hundred years after
Most of the "civilized (Western) world" found other ways to apply "slavery".
One form was what we call "wage slaves".
Another was via Marxism/Socialism/Communism.

You Komrade should know this, but then maybe aren't being honest.
 
That is the first step in knowing and moving on from ...
Which you are free to do. History is a record. Statues are an honor. Traitor slavers who waged war against our country should not be honored.

Especially not when historical honors to black people are being deleted by the same, drunken, white supremacist piece of shit.

Do you find it weird that the first kinda black Kenyan President didn’t give two-shits about the monuments during his eight year reign of terror…..and that it took Saint George Floyd to tell you woke white guilt purple hair nose-ringers to be mad?

Not the same as ownership is it?

Towns and cities across the south erected statues to their Confederate heroes
Blacks in those cities were not allowed to vote for the officials who decided to erect those statues on city property.
Once black votes counted, they decided to take down those statues

Democracy in action

No, because they are generally on state property. But you didnt think of that, because you're dumb, due to your inferior genetics.

The one in Arlington required congressional action to remove.
