The Confederates who are honored with statues would unlikely be known at all to us were it not for their part in a war fought to preserve human slavery.

So, just to clarify a statue of a slave owner is OK, but a statue of a Soldier that may not even have had a slave has to be removed? So, everyone else on here is talking slave ownership (which some documentation suggests was by a black man FIRST in the U.S.) and you say the idea is to tear down what you deem to be are "traitor" statues? I don't think that is the consensus.
