All statues to these Yankee war criminals must be removed.

If the South cannot commemorate it's heroes; then the North cannot memorialise its villains.

We should replace them with statues of the
1. First slave owner (black)
2. First slave shipper (Jew)
3. Guys who killed Malcom x, who wanted separation of races (Islam)

There's all the fucking diversity you'll ever need and all historically true

History shouldn't make you comfortable. Only fools try to erase it.

Hitler should be removed from the history books. I mean come on he was an asshole and he fucking lost...who gives a shit about some asshole that didn't win why should I care?

Name one person convicted of treason

Similarly, how come the Scots get a William Wallace statue in spite of him being drawn and quartered for treason?

As it turns out, national mythologies go a ways toward soothing the wounds of defeat.

If Lee, etc. "belong in a museum" because they're history, how do Sherman and Grant not too? One's a war criminal and the other a drunk, slave-owning shitty President.

The Sherman statue in NYC is pretty awesome

MLK was a misogynist let's get that fuck off of street signs

>>137242024
the south wasnt racist. democrats in the north voted to keep slavery. without republican votes, they would still be slaves.

Wasn't Sherman and Grant huge participants in the Indian wars?
