    Default these statues honor the Jim Crow south

    that is their history you racist fools




    The statue was erected in 1924 in the latter days of decades-long Lost Cause commemoration in the South. The Lost Cause celebrated the Confederacy in books, articles, at reunions, and in the erection of monuments to men such as Lee, Jackson, Davis, and Stuart. The Lost Cause reached its zenith in the 1890s and early 1900s. It coincided with, and in many ways supported, the establishment of a Jim Crow South. By the late 1920s, with Civil War veterans dying and new political issues emerging, the Lost Cause faded away. The feelings behind the Lost Cause, however, have never truly disappeared. And the political environment of today surrounding the Lee statue is similar to that of the 1920s.

    a majority of americans support the statues, contrary to your narrative:



    if you start trying to take down all the statues you'll have overextended yourselves.
