If someone sees themselves being shot at, their buildings blown up, their churches being burned down, what does one do ? Nothing ?
Its history is as a monument erected in 1913 to the Jim Crow laws which were keeping the blacks in their place. It glorifies men who fought for a government based on the inferiority of the black man, which intended to preserve slavery. History will record that such men were less likely to be glorified 150 years after the war.No one can change history by toppling statues.
How quaint ....vandalism
I guess you are disappointed Federal property was retained and slavery was not preserved. Fair enough. I accept your cultural standards.Your excuses for you cultural bigotry and disrespect for the dead, are noted and laughed at
There's precedent for that.Perhaps they are just relieved they showed that mean old statute who was boss before it ruined their safe space just by standing there.
They'll put it back up next week.

Public, or private land, the destruction of property is illegal, vandalism, and shows how violence, and destruction is accepted if those in power agree politically. It is disgusting, and evidence of a society in decline. It has to stop.
Guy, I'm an old man, and I heard the same kind of stuff said i the 1960's...
Society is going to be fine.
The question is, should we keep up statues that were only erected in the first place to denigrate and intimidate a large portion of the population?
Nobody put these statues up in the 1870's... People were damned mad about the ruin Davis and Lee had inflicted on them.
they put them up in the 1920's to put the Darkies in their place.
Now people of color are saying, "No More".
There's precedent for that.
Protesters topple Confederate monument on UNC campus

08/20/18 10:20 PM EDT --- Protesters on the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill campus on Monday night brought down a controversial monument dedicated to Confederate soldiers, according to media reports. The fate of monuments honoring Confederate soldiers have become a hot-button issue in the wake of last year's violent white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va.

I don’t seem to see any white supremacy in the world today. What I'm seeing is an awful lot of black supremacy and racism and Marxist Socialist terrorism in America. Seems the vandals are now setting the rules. Can the Cheka be close behind?
No one can change history by toppling statues. It shows mental impotence. You gain your rightful place in the world by building not destroying.
I doubt the average Southern foot soldier owned slaves. They were called and served in both the North and the South. Will the memorial to the Black soldiers that served in the 1st Kansas Colored Volunteers. also be toppled soon?
Should we be looking forward to seeing the Memorials to those that served in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam also destroyed by the terrorists that mask themselves like the KKK?
I accept as your cultural standard your support for the glorification of those who fought for the preservation of slavery and for the theft of Federal property.Your excuses for you cultural bigotry and disrespect for the dead, are noted and laughed at.

Considering most of the men fighting at the time were in their 20's, and a lot of these statues went up in the early 1900's, it's actually around the time a lot of the veterans on both sides started dying off.
The soldiers and sailors arch in Grand Army Plaza was built from 1888-1892, closer to the age of this statue than the end of the civil war.

Don't you think it a shame history was torn down?The people in Iraq are probably relieved they no longer have anything to fear from that mean old statue.
Yup. Making sure Jim Crow was in place and blacks kept to theirs. One sees an increase in Confederate monuments around the Civil Rights era as well. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.And a time when their children, would be the ones in charge making decisions on funding parks and buildings, ect ect.

And yet libs see the timing as "evidence" of ill intent.
