I have a suggestion for those of you who sincerely think that removing the statues of losing traitors is destroying history.

How about we turn them over on their sides and put up signs saying something like "Here lies the statue of a loser who betrayed our country. He (are any of the statues of women?) fought for the horrific right to own other people." No history is destroyed and a message is sent that not only was slavery a terrible thing, but those who seek change through unconstitutional and violent means will be summarily dealt with.
