Are you aware of the history (that is, when and why)...most of those confederate statues were built and installed?

“Eventually they started to build [Confederate] monuments,” he says. “The vast majority of them were built between the 1890s and 1950s, which matches up exactly with the era of Jim Crow segregation.”

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s research, the biggest spike was between 1900 and the 1920s.



As for the song in question, while I can see the MeToo's point (of whom I support) regarding it...I don't think this particular song warrants much scrutiny or outrage.
