/----/ DemocRATS need to erase their slave owning heritageLet the statues stand in your back yard They fought against our Gov't Why glorify traitors?Ok. Idk where to start. So much I could attack on here. 1 question. How come you can have a Martian Luther king statue. There is people who want that statue taken down. Who are you to say someone can't have a statue stand. What happened to freedom of speech? Do they not have the right to let there statue stand? Just because someone doesn't like it. Like it or not the civil war wasn't a race war. Slavery was an economic issue. The slaves picked the crops in the farmers fields. If the slaves go then the crops would die and there would be shortages in areas. What they should have done was let them free if they wanted to go but also offer them a job picking the crops. Just because there's a statue of someone who fought for what they believed in doesn't mean it's racist.I asked if you ever built the statues was building them to be racist? Like it or not soldiers from the confederate army are American veterans. They fought for what they believed in. Yes slavery was what they wanted but the civil war had other things that was fought over. Now I'm pretty sure we can both agree that the civil war wasn't just over slavery. Just look it up sometime when you get a chance but read a lot of sorces and see what you think. Have a good day!Really? So in the most violent times of t
Really? So they just said let's go build some racist statues? Do some more reading
Er... what? You might want to sort of add to your post so I can reply.
No, it wasn't. However I'm suggesting many of the statues weren't built to commemorate the war. They weren't statues for honoring those who fought for something. Many of them commemorate a person, and a person who stands for something in the modern times.
If you put a statue of Hitler up, how do you think people would react? Hitler stands for something. Statues that honor those who gave their lives in WW2 in Germany would not have a statue of Hitler to represent them. So why do Confederate statues have these well known people?
