But statues that honor people who led troops to kill other troops in order to preserve the slave culture don't belong in places where descendants of those slaves have to pass by, or see every time they leave their homes. And responsible, civilized people whose ancestors owned slaves, don't need to be reminded constantly of the shameful past of their families.

These things SHOULD be preserved. And they SHOULD be made available to anyone who WANTS to see them and learn about them. That's a museum. Not a the middle of a public park.

Traitors, who wanted to destroy and divide this UNITED States of America and continue the ownership of other human beings, should NEVER be allowed to be in public places...to be worshipped/admired.
