I'm a born and bred Yankee.....New Englander all my life, and yet I understand the events that led to the civil war. And with this understanding, I harbor no ill feelings towards the Confederate generals and others who have had statues erected in their honor. They were still Americans even during the war. Atrocities were committed by both sides, and that's the nature of war. Tearing down statues is reprehensible.
