Confederate Statues Were Built To Further A 'White Supremacist Future'

"...A ragged Rebel flag flies high above it all,
popping in the wind like an angry cannon ball.
Now the holes of history are cold and still,
but they still smell the powder burning,
and probably always will"

From the song, Sunday in the South by Shenandoah.

The best explanation for this whole issue I have ever heard.
The Yankee haters and their sympathizers will never understand it, and we are good with that.
We don't seek their understanding if their hate & prejudice of the South is attached to it.
(as evidenced by several of the posts here)
They need to remove the log in their own eye before they start preaching to us about hate and prejudice.
 
"QUESTION: WHAT NEXT"

It doesn't matter why the Confederate Statues were put where there.

They are there and to remove them is costly. The same individuals who support the removal of those statues must decide what is to go in its place before the statues are successfully moved & stored.

It would be an embarrassment to any community to have a city full of large, flat topped pedestals waiting for another sculpture.

The empty space would like an empty picture frame without the painting.

We need more Confederate monuments. For example, next to every Robert E. Lee statue showing Lee astride a horse like the Conquering Hero, a statue showing Lee surrendering to Grant.

You Confederacy worshippers enslaved fellow Americans. You murdered thousands of American soldiers and sailors in your desperate defense of slavery. Then you spent the next century using terrorism and murder to oppress fellow Americans to try to cling to your delusions and your hatred of the Constitution and the United States.

What "Resolution for war passed in Congress " are you referring to?

Crittenden–Johnson Resolution, passed July 25th, 1861. In which was not to and I and quote "overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of those States," but to "defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution and to preserve the Union."

Congress only signed off on the illegal actions of Lincoln prior to that because he agreed to this.
