Only because the left likes to compartmentalize everyone into their labeled little boxes. Sorry... we don't live in a strictly black and white world like little robots. The real world is more complex than that. You don't get to assign everyone their thoughts and reasoning for decisions and actions based on your partisan grievances 150 years after the fact.He was defending a states right to secede.Lee had a choiceI really don't think a bunch of morons who didn't bother to learn the back ground of Robert E Lee need to be lecturing others on " perspective".
Defend his country or defend a country dedicated to preserving slavery
He chose the latter
Much like California is threatening these days...while liberals applaud.
Right to secede over slavery
Somehow it keeps getting back to that
It was compartmentalized
Being a negro meant you were no more than an animal. Not worthy of human rights. A commodity to be bought and sold. The core of southern wealth in the cotton market but unworthy of any of the profit
THAT is what the confederacy was about
Zhey zon't kkkare! Zhey simplee must follow zheir orzerz!the city VOTED for this removal, hello? rethuglicans?
But lets modify them to portray the correct historical context
Lets honor those who created a nation to ensure that blacks would be enslaved forever. That is what the Confederacy was about.......Not Scarlett O'Hara, Not gentlemen fighting for a noble cause, not a cool flag to fly on your pickup truck
Go build them yourself, raise the money, hire the artists and get them out there. You don't get to erase history that you find repugnant.

History isn't being erased by getting rid of statues.

That's OK from the standpoint that it was an awful act of mankind --- POView. But a little over-dramatic. You don't trust "animals" with caretaking of your children or running your business when you're away. And tho it was horrific and awful, they were not "animals". And the conditions varied greatly. Only about 2% of the South population controlled about 70% or more of the slaves as the smaller farms got consolidated.

Probably should outlaw the Dem party also. Based on the history of who started it.. Dontchathink??
UnivVa located in Charlottesville, founded by a Slave owner. Washington and Lee Univ has Lee buried in the center of ancient colonades. WHY? Because Lee spent MOST of his life up North. At West Point and in Engineering schools. And AFTER the war --- took the reins of Washington Univ. in Virginia. His role in the war was NOT as a fan of the the Succession or necessarily of plantation slavery. Arlington Cemetery is HIS property -- given to the country.
You think it's the SOUTH that can't over the Civil War. We have.. It's YOU that's still fighting it..
Hell no.. I'm a Libertarian. I believe in TOLERANCE not using the power of the state to Purge history. That's what the govt morons that started and promoted this confrontation wanted. They wanted the Deep Fried Cracker Losers to come to town to give folks that impression.
You still got 40% or so of the Dem heritage down here that you constantly MOCK and ridicule when you go after whipping the South. LOTS of support for keeping that history intact. You ever poll a field full of Civil War re-enactors and ASCERTAIN that ALL the Grey ones are Repubs???
Quit serving up this Yankee centered nonsense. Ya hear??
The civil war was ALL about slaveryBut lets modify them to portray the correct historical context

There are many statutes that depict the events and people who were enslaved. Some idiots might find them offensive. Does that mean they should be torn down?
Or maybe just tear down the statues you don't like? I would specifically like to know how you think this should work.
We are talking about publicaly honoring a nation built on slavery
Communities setting aside their most prominent sites to honor a nation that lasted four years and killed 600,000 people just so they could enslave others
Move them somewhere else and put them in proper prospective
Again....you are attempting to infer the civil war was solely about slavery. That is demonstrable false. I do not think an attempt to erase history because you do not like the history is ever good.
Do any of you "it's part of history" crowd know when this particular statue was erected?
The one in Charlottesville? Since 1924.. About the time your Fed Govt was designing and planning the segregated black housing that founded most of today's "hoods"..

It does nothing to justify 40 percent of the population of the Confederacy being in bondage. Free forced labor was the backbone of the economy. All whites prospered from the cotton money. No slaves did

Nope, that was a decade later. It WAS around the same time tens of thousands of Klan members marched on Washington and a thousand of them marched in NY. (And Fred Trump was arrested)

You're not absolved of POST Civil War Govt race exclusion/discrimination either.. It would be OBVIOUS to you if KNEW any real history.. .

No, true shit.
In 1933, faced with a housing shortage, the federal government began a program explicitly designed to increase — and segregate — America's housing stock. Author Richard Rothstein says the housing programs begun under the New Deal were tantamount to a "state-sponsored system of segregation."

Being tired of the history, is no excuse to PURGE it from the public memory. We are ONLY discussing this because "your tribe" is so currently BEREFT of ideas and solutions that they have to go back 200 yrs to find something to divide us...
There is NO evidence that the Purge will rid us of the Nazi./Klan scum. There is no evidence that NOT remembering that history ACCURATELY and persistently will "make us better".. But that's what you got. With the country imploding and threats from everywhere -- you want to fuck with culture, history and the heritage (good and bad) of this country.

But people are beginning to ask.......why are those monuments there in the first place?
They weren't put up by the veterans loved ones. The timing seems to coincide with civil rights efforts. A form of payback

Nice pet peeve...but it has nothing to do with the statue of Robert E Lee that was erected around the same time 50,000 KKK members marched on Washington DC and Fred Trump was arrested at a Klan Rally in NY.
