Getting rid of a monument is not synonymous with erasing history. With or without confederate monuments, we will still have history of that time that we will learn and respect. To most, monuments represent the people we value and some would find it wrong to value people on the confederate side because of the underlying motivations they had, i.e. Slavery. (though I will admit it does concern me what comes after the removing of monuments)
iin that the libs want to destroy all confederate monuments?
