I guess it’s a matter of perspective. From where I sit, it’s the persons tearing them down who are fighting SO HARD to get rid of them. They’re screeching and protesting and yelling and so forth. And the knuckleheads are just getting in their way.
Yeah, got your point. Black and white. North, good. South, bad.
It’s not a party/confederacy thing. It’s more how each party deals with information they don’t like. The left want it erased and removed from history. They’re fine with censorship. The right wants warts and all. Keep history, even the parts we don’t like. You cannot learn from history if you keep sanitizing it.
