It's important. Erasing monuments that represent hundreds of thousands of people that died is reprehensible. You're no better than isis. Your allegiance to a thing is being used to overshadow and destroy history when it's convenient. You've clearly never studied the intricacies of the US Civil War. I'll make it real simple for you. Why have a monument for Lincoln?

I feel bad for your public school interpretation of American History.
Erasing monuments that represent hundreds of thousands of people that died is reprehensible
so how about a redesign that makes it clear that these horrible deaths are being memorialized, and which does not grant traditional honor to traitors and the cause they fought for, not honoring them with heroic poses on their noble steeds depicted in bronze and marble?
by definition, they were traitors to the USA.
Waging war against the USA and all that.
I can see keeping the statues around someplace but keeping them in a place of honor because treason and all that . . . ?
maybe not so much.
unless that treason thing is not so important
