--- Quote from: Cappytaino on August 13, 2017, 01:24:31 AM ---it's more an issue of rewriting history than anything. Personally I don't give two stuffs about the statue but some people feel very strongly about "erasing history" or "sanitizing" history and oppose it purely on principle. Lee was a very complex figure historically and for the standards of the time, he wasn't an awful person morally. He did own slaves but so did many other people that don't have the same negative stigma attached to them. Lee's legacy as a capable tactician is overshadowed because he chose to fight under the CSA and debatably was a greater/more historically relevant figurehead for the CSA than Jefferson Davis. --- End quote --- rewriting history lmao? they're removing historical memorabilia of someone who represented the confederate south, and was fighting for the right to own slaves. this isn't "rewriting" history, it's just a bunch of tribal white people getting upset when something gets taken away from them lol |

| Drydess:
