I don't know...they've removed statues of Stalin and Lenin, etc., in former Eastern Bloc countries. How is this any different? Should they have been left in place just because once they were part of history--a brutal regime history?

I mean, I don't know if I've got an opinion about it yet, but I'm not sure I think it's wrong.

Appeasing snowflakes and social justice warriors...'MURICA

It had to have been made legal by someone then..if not the president and his administration...then who?....the states and their leadership?...and if so should traces of them be removed then?....

Dear, slavery was in the Americas before there was a sitting US president...or even a USA for that matter.

No hun..it was started over Taxation without representation...

And it was about succeeding from the Union which had been in planning stages for sometime prior to the actual war.

what kind of sissy panzy a** b*tches have you worthless parents been producing??

'MURICANS

this was why they wanted to separate the states? did this tax lead to the South wanting to separate themselves from the North and USA?

I can't argue against that at all.
when you have children controlling parents it naturally leads to weak a** b*tches later on becoming weak a** adults!!

No..that was already in the planning stages..had been for quite some time. The South saw no need to be part of the Union...they were self sufficient and reliant...as they saw it. They had more natural resources...slave labor and were making shtloads of $$$. The top movers and shakers wanted to break from the Union and keep their cash..simple. Or so they thought.

The taxation issue was their "door" to do so..and to get tge ones hesitating to jump on board.

Take down the pyramids in Egypt, the damn things represent slavery

Got ya...I know some stuff...but I don't remember everything about it....anyway...my question was more about how far should we go....erase that whole part of history from the history books?...

Flirty, how do you feel about the Gen. George Armstrong Custer statue?


George Armstrong Custer Equestrian Monument

Junction of Elm Avenue and North Monroe Street
Monroe, Michigan

The George Armstrong Custer Equestrian Monument, also known as Sighting the Enemy,[4][5] is an equestrian statue of General George Armstrong Custer by Edward Clark Potter, located in Monroe, Michigan. The statue was unveiled on June 4, 1910 by President William Howard Taft and the widowed Elizabeth Custer. It was designated as a Michigan Historic Site on June 15, 1992[3] and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 9, 1994.[1]

While Custer was not born in Monroe, he lived much of his early childhood there with relatives and attended the schools in Monroe. During his youth, he met his future wife Elizabeth Bacon, whom he returned to marry in 1864. Custer left Monroe to attend the United States Military Academy and fight in the Civil War. Because of his hard work and success during the war?—?as well as the Union's need for officers?—?he was promoted to the rank of Major General and became a very well-known military figure. After the Civil War, he fought in the Indian Wars in the West. His previous accomplishments in the Civil War, however, were overshadowed by his catastrophic defeat and death at the Battle of the Little Big Horn on June 25, 1876.[6]

To honor him, a $24,000, 14-foot (4.27 m) bronze equestrian statue, sculpted by Edward Clark Potter, was unveiled in Monroe in 1910 by President William Howard Taft and the widowed Elizabeth Bacon Custer.[2] The statue commemorates his successful actions during the Civil War and not his more well-known defeat in 1876.[7

Exactly...this is no different than ISIS destroying historical statues and monuments as they have been doing...or the bonfire of the vanities in Florence, the burning of the Library of Alexandria etc.

History should be preserved for future generations not destroyed because a few whiny f**ks don't like it.

So do you think the removal of statues of any presidents during the whole slavery period should be done as well?...after all they were the ones who instituted slavery in the first place...not the civil war...

...:

I don't care...its just a statue to me that represents something real that happened during a period of history...me not liking it isn't gonna take away the fact that it happened....that's what I am trying to say...the absence of a statue doesn't take away the historical facts....

Thomas Jefferson: should anything about him be removed since he did in fact own slaves and condoned slave ownership?
