But most of those statues were put up in the early 20th Century, in support of the Jim Crow laws, and to further oppress/intimidate the black population of the South - that was historical revisionism in itself.
We should teach history, but why should a country celebrate the leaders of a failed rebellion which was founded on owning people as property?
But back to Kelly’s statement - what compromise was there? The compromise the Secessionists wanted was to own people - is that an acceptable compromise?
