Wrong. The KKK and the White supremacists never noticed or even mentioned the statues before the idiot liberals decided they wanted to remove them. They were just statues. The liberals decided to make it an issue. How in the world could a statue be justification for white supremacist views? "duh... We have a statue of General Lee so that means we are better than black people. derrrr"
Yeah because the liberals made it an issue.

Originally posted by seer View PostThere is a difference, Arnold basically went over the the British side due to greed, Men like Lee and Jackson did not want secession but when it came they fought for their Country, the Confederates States of America. And there is at least one Monument to Arnold: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_Monument And remember, Arnold was a great fighter and leader, on that alone he gets at least a little respect...Last edited by JimL; 08-24-2017, 11:39 AM.

We even have a memorial in Arlington Nationall Cemetery honoring the dead Confederate soldiers.

Looking at the south side of the Confederate Monument at Arlington National Cemtery in Arlington, Virginia, in the United States. American historians agree that many of the civic wounds created by the American Civil War were healed by the feelings of common cause generated during Spanish-American War. In June 1900, the U.S. Congress passed legislation setting aside Section 16 of the cemetery for the burial of Confederate States of America war dead.
There are many Confederate soldiers buried in Arlington.
I suppose you now want to go get a shovel and dig them up.
