I Love Civil War History

In light of the many issues/controversies about Confederate Monuments, this to me is refreshing to see the ruling that has taken place in Virginia. IMO you can't erase history by removing a statue or monument. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/virginia-judge-rules-charlottesville-confederate-statues-are-war-monuments/ar-AAAIz15?ocid=mailsignout

Well actually you made the point for removing them. We won’t forget history just because some statues are removed.

Statues memorializing the Confederacy in the US are the equivalent to the Germans putting up statues honoring Hitler, Goerring or the SS.

Well you might want to have that discussion with the Judge who decided the monuments would not immediately come down.@QuixoticSoul

@soar2newhighs He’ll be overruled, or eventually the Supreme Court will change Virginia’s laws. Cities and their inhabitants aren’t going to be held hostage to this kind of nonsense.

If you say so. I'll wait and see.@QuixoticSoul

Of course the Democrats want the statues removed! They don’t like being reminded that they [b]supported slavery.[/b]🤣

Those who want certain statues removed also say they believe in freedom of speech etc..... as long as it’s what they want to hear!

@soar2newhighs The statues are a remnant of that era. That’s part of why people don’t think they should remain.

soar2newhighs

Not everybody, aka people feel that way. I'll wait and see how this Virginia thing plays out.@QuixoticSoul

@soar2newhighs Obviously not everyone feels that way, as the Charlottesville debacle showed. There are some rather motivated fellows that really want to see them remain.
