The war wasnt about human rights, black people were still treated like shit even in the north after the war.
The Civil War was about slavery, regardless of what you white supremacist jackasses claim.
Also black people fought for the confederacy,
They were forced to because they were still slaves.
a lot of these monuments are to honor the dead who fought and died,
It's honoring traitors. Those monuments didn't go up immediately after the war; they went up 100 years later, right in the middle of Jim Crow. They didn't go up to honor the dead; they went up because of racism.
should they be forgotten just because? They wont be in history books.
Yes. And they are in history books; they're in there as the side that lost. Robert E Lee was a total scumbag who was also responsible for the genocide of Native Americans.
Also werent you going to close your account?
Do you know what day it is, sympathizer? It's the fucking weekend. The admins will deal with my account closure ticket tomorrow.
Robert E Lee was actually an alright guy, he freed his slaves before Grant did.
Also, the US government doesn’t consider Confederate veterans to be traitors. Anyone who fought in the civil war is considered an American veteran, no matter which side it was for. Not to mention, the “traitor” argument is pretty stupid since our country was literally founded by treasonous “traitors”. ---
