No one begrudges southern women in 1865 placing flowers on the graves of their sons and husbands.
But Memorial Day is for recognizing soldiers of the United States military.
The confederates were not a United States military, nor were they even a formal Army fighting for honor and distinction. They were treasonous rebel militias fighting the Army of the United States and on behalf of a slave economy.
Memorial Day History
Three years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of an organization of Union veterans — the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) — established Decoration Day as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. Maj. Gen. John A. Logan declared that Decoration Day should be observed on May 30. It is believed that date was chosen because flowers would be in bloom all over the country.

AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

Ripping down Civil war monuments, trying to erase history is akin to ripping down the concentration camps memorials in Poland.
Instead of using them as teaching moments at the reality of actual events in history, The PC police think acting like they never happened, ripping out any reminders will send this message to the very small group of
people that may hold theses monuments as their badge of racism honor.
The civil war was fought for many reasons, the least of which was racism.
