Liberals block erection of monument to war heroes

Does that mean you advocate removing the Little Big Horn park? After all those dirty savages massacred all of those fine upstanding US cavalrymen on US soil. They must have been traitors too.

They were never part of our country, thus they could not be traitors. How can you not know this?

Also, This area memorializes the US Army's 7th Cavalry, Crow, and Arikara scouts and the Lakotas, Cheyennes, and Arapaho. It would be very odd if it left out the US Calvary
 
Only the mullet brigade of the Cracker South still thinks that.
They were traitors and then pardoned. They were forbidden from holding office. They were hardly welcomed.

Every single one of them?

And if they were pardoned it's like it never happened.

Only certain ones were prevented from holding office, and that was never really enforced.

The people that beat them made that decision, not some keyboard warrior a century and a half later.
 
They were banned from ever holding public office.

Only the ones who had public office at the start of the Civil war, and that part of the amendment was never really enforced or adjudicated after Reconstruction.
 
Yes, it is part of our history. That does not mean we need to praise those that fought against our country and give them places of honor in our towns and cities.
Then by the same token, you advocate the removal of the Little Big Horn memorial historical park in MT. Is that what you are saying?

Why would anyone outside cracker South care? The West care? Texas care? North care?

No, it means they were pardoned.

And thats when the problem started.

Only the Jim Crow crackers put those statues up, not anyone else. Fortunately they are dying off at an acclerated rate now.
 
No, they were banned going forward.

And again, how hard was it enforced?

Was it ever clarified via court actions?

They were forgiven by the people they fought. It is hubris to think you have the right to override that a century and a half later.

Progs like you need to stop being so fucking full of yourselves.

Again, the people they fought forgave them, and you have no standing to override that, you SJW Orwellian punk-twat.

Montana, AND all of its residents became citizens of the US when it achieved statehood in 1864. The battle of Little Big Horn happened in 1876. Yes they were part and parcel to the US just as the confederates were. You cannot pick and choose, that would be hypocrisy.

Hey, we hired Nazis for our space program. Does that mean it's okay to build statues honoring Hitler?

The Confederates were traitors to America. Period.

How about a statue honoring Warner?

Hitler wasn't an American, and he was doing bad things when everyone knew they were bad, including him.

Slavery was still in transition from being considered normal to being considered bad.

No, they were not, They were forgiven, and given their citizenship back.

Rebellion against America is bad. Period.

AGREED. The only reason for the removals is to deny that it is part of our history, enabling the false rewriting of what actually happened. Kind of like idolizing a convicted fentanyl abuser and violent criminal in MN.

Not so for the Native Americans. The courts of the time interpreted the Fourteenth Amendment to be not applicable to Native Americans who still lived on their tribal land. They didn't get US citizenship until the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924.
