And don't forget Benedict Arnold, Alger Hiss, & the Rosenbergs -- they're all part of our history.

Reality is when Lincoln issue the emancipation proclamation Jefferson Davis not Lincoln was in charge of the south, In his own writings Lincoln's goal was not to free the slaves but to preserve the union. Lincolns hope was to start a slave revolt in the south. It did not happen. Had it happened. Yes, it would have caused trouble for the south. In the south several states 1/3 of the population was slaves-I think Mississippi was an example. It would also have resulted in the slaughter of many slaves. Why the civil war? States rights. Clearly the issue has not been settled, even today. Only a small percentage of people fighting for the South owned slaves and the north there were few slaves. The reason, was not morals. It was cheaper to higher an immigrant work them to death and dump em. Hitler had his book burning. We now destroy our statues and rewrite history-reality. |

Appropriate to put whatever that cost is in context with other taxpayer costs. Capitol Riot Costs Will Exceed $30 Million, Official Tells Congress - The New York Times Architect Of The Capitol Outlines $30 Million In Damages From Pro-Trump Riot : Capitol Insurrection Updates : NPR Sorry you are offended. Not “whitewashing” as you say at all. |

Roughly 10% of our population, of military age, fought in the war. Vets were a common sight missing arms, legs eyes etc. Lincoln wanted to welcome the south back into the union. Lincoln was murdered and Johnson became president. Johnson wanted vengeance. Part of how we got to where we are today. Pardons and history. Germany lost WWI the French who suffered the greatest number of casualties in WWI wanted and got vengeance. The result was WWII. At the end of WWII they hung a few of the leaders a symbolic gesture. Had they punished all that participated who knows where we would be today. Japan. McArthur abandoned his troops in the Philippines. Leaving my father to experience the Battan death march. He obviously survived. He never spoke about it. McArthur was put in charge of Japan after WWII. He treated them far better than the Japanese treated prisoners, Chinese, Philippines. Some NEED to read about Nan King and Japanese germ warfare, or the fact that they had a peace delegation talking peace when the aircraft carriers left Japan for the attack on Pearl harbor. Just as today. Reality is far more complex than what most accept as truth. |

Perhaps your knowledge of history is better than mine, but reading the articles of confederation that preceded the constitution, the importance of local, states rights, it seems inconceivable that the ,then relativity independent states would have joined into a system they could not walk away from. My understanding is Robert E Lee was offered the command of union forces, refused and resigned his commission because his state wanted to leave the union. As a military commander Gen Lee did remarkedly well with what he had to work with. The confederate states lost due to economic/ logistical realities. After the war this loosing general was offered many appointments by foreign governments due to his demonstrated abilities.

If anyone wants history to repeat itself, removing all reminders (such as statues) is one good way.

It is amazing how a 2 time loser, drug addict Floyd started the destruction of American history. There is so much more to this than a statue. Monument Ave. used to be beautiful now looks like a war zone. To be replaced with a Floyd statue, or maybe a pacifier?
No big deal. |
