When you think like a black person could be the answer.
It always amazes me that racists believe the civil war was about states rights. IT was about slavery and the right to own a human being. IT was for the North a fight to save the nation. The South seceding from the United States of America was treason.
No one puts up monuments for losers. They lost, they fought and lost.
Under your notion we should have a statue of Hitler, he lost?
Lets put up a few monuments for the Vietnamize Generals here in America because they lost.
How about we put up monuments for all losers.
Lets give out rings to the losers of professional sports after all they fought bravely to win the title.
Statues of confederate losers are to intimidate black people, pure and simple and it perpetuates hate. Like flying the confederate flag.
The Whitest sport in America NASCAR just banned confederate flags, kudos to them. There is no place to condone support of the confederacy, traders and slave owners. Period.
So yeah, as far as I am concerned Gen Lee had a chance to fight for the right side he choose poorly and he lost, rip down his statue in Gettysburg and promote the winners, blow up the side of Stone Mountain and stop paying homage to losers and traitors.
When you argue for these symbols you are part of the problem and not a good study of history.
