Why do you think the media appears to be in the minority of extremists who want to demolish history? Do they have a radical agenda?
It is a long term policy of covering up the truth. These statues are almost all confederate democrats. These people have a long standing association with policies of oppressors, kkk, "final solutions" via planned parenthood, lynchings, mass death, racism, and general robbery of the common people.
In order for the democrats to lead us again we need to forget all that. Hence the book burnings, the statue defacings, the memory removal of street signs and names. And of course the feeble attempts to pin the donkey tail on the elephant.
It is a good strategy as long as people ar kept from education and public libraries where the history is all well documented.
Look at the presentation on this.
31e. Canefight! Preston Brooks and Charles Sumner
"Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts was an avowed Abolitionist and leader of the Republican Party. After the sack of Lawrence, on May 21, 1856, he gave a bitter speech in the Senate called "The Crime Against Kansas." He blasted the "murderous robbers from Missouri," calling them "hirelings, picked from the drunken spew and vomit of an uneasy civilization." Part of this oratory was a bitter, personal tirade against South Carolina's Senator Andrew Butler. Sumner declared Butler an imbecile and said, "Senator Butler has chosen a mistress. I mean the harlot, slavery.""
There was no fight. It was a beating pure and simple of R-Sumner by D-Brooks from behind while two more Ds held the rest of congress at bay with weapons.
The presentation of the north vs the south is a bit false as well as many northerners supported slavery at that time.
We really need to learn about the realities of our histories. Defacing and destroying historical sites is an homage to ignorance.
