They need to shatter all that confederate trash. All the Confederates were traitors and should've all been hung after the South surrendered.

You realize that would basically mean killing all men, women, and children in the south, right? It would also pretty well mean the end of our country as we know it since about half the country would be dead. I don't even condone slavery although the real problem is that you and others here are ignoramuses who are incapable of looking at anything from the past in the perspective of how things were in the past. You just think nobody ever should've owned slaves and therefore anybody that owned one should just be murdered. It's people like you who are asking for another Civil War to happen here in the U.S.

And Mark my words, there will be another Civil War here in the U.S in the next few years and it's going to be long and bloody. And I hope you are prepared for it.

" there will be another Civil War here in the U.S "

why ? are you bringing slavery back?

reply

No because liberals can't stand what conservatives think and conservatives can't stand what liberals think. And it's inevitible it will lead to a Civil War over those issues. If the conservatives win everyone will have to be conservative or go to prison for life. And if the liberals win all conservatives will be put in prison. After that, our country won't be free anymore cause neither side will want to give up what they believe in.

Hooray!

Prepare yourself for a "shock" - Robert E. Lee wanted NO statues dedicated to the confederacy.

reply

I think it’s more accurate to say he opposed any Civil War monuments - whether Union or Confederacy - as they might only sustain the North vs. South emotions that undermined true reconciliation. I recall reading he even opposed national preservation of the Gettysburg battlefield on such grounds. But your point provides good perspective for our modern assessment on these statutes if they are doing nothing but tearing us apart.

as should be also burn those confedrate as well they have no place in the Union ef Christopher Columbus and Robert E.Lee

Believe me or don't, I couldn't possibly care less- I'm looking at a picture of him on my wall right now...

It's weird how embarrassed democrats are by...democrats.

well after two pages of replies I still dont know why the losing side of an immoral war get statues ,
even if they were nice people and great military tacticians .
I'ver herad lots of nice plattitudes about Lee , which i dont doubt are true,
but,
At the end of the day , the war was about slavery , pure and simple.
The south wanted to split the country in half so that their half could continue with slavery.
