Since my family arrived in the U.S. way after the Civil War, we found it educational and interesting to travel and view monuments to commemorate battles, leaders and famous people that were part of making this young country the World's Best. Is it true that the white man conquered and stole this country from the "red" man? If so, doesn't that blemish one's view of the white man? Or, should all memorials to the losers (red man) be destroyed, because we do not wish to have reminders of losers in this country?
Isn't it amazing how many folks that hate the South, have moved to the South to exploit it, ever since the carpetbaggers of yesteryear? Southerners have a culture, just like African Americans, Irish, Jews, Italians, etc. Is it called assimilation or elimination? Do we eliminate what a very few find offensive or do not agree with? What happens when Atheists decide they are offended by Christian symbols and demand their removal..............oh wait.
