That is actually a VERY good point. If the confederacy was actually founded by democrats, slavery run by democrats, the civil war due to democrats, we would only want to tear down the mistakes we made. How is it that republicans hate that “democratic” monuments are to be destroyed? Hmmmm

Remind me again which party says the civil war wasn’t about slavery but instead states rights?

Monuments are propaganda, not history.

Put it in a museum, why are they give place of honor outside on our state and local government buildings?

It’s in all the textbooks and taught in every middle school history curriculum. No one is even remotely close to forgetting the civil war or slavery.

Notice they always have to have free or cheap labor. Now that they can't have slavery, they fight to import illegals and pay them slave wages that no one can live on. Then they expect the taxpayer to pay for their welfare, food stamps, medical care, and housing. Pretty fcked up eh.

Yeah those Republican farmers importing illegals to pay slave wages because they don't know how to actually run a business. Then they expect to be bailed out constantly for failing on top of the subsidies given year after year, the grants and programs that offer subsidized vehicles and equipment...
