Hmm, I'm sure when those states seceded, there were hours of discussion about what a future, 1958 Congress, would do with respect to veterans of the War of Northern Aggression (as it was known in the South). Why is it that the left/democrats are so adamant about sanitizing their OWN history? I guess all northern statues need to go as well, right? (Since they fought a war against states that were Constitutionally correct in leaving the Union!) How about you just own up to your own history, and leave the statues in place, representing what they actually were/are. The reminder of part of our history. If dems have their way, there will be NO statues, or monuments, or anything else to remind people of, at least, the democrats role in our history. This is a slippery slope no sentient individual really wants to go down, as there is no end to it.  The first part of learning is growing up.  Adults don't rant, rave and remove statues. They learn from them.
