Well some people think Robert E. Lee handled the defeat of the war in a noble way. While I’ve heard many perspectives, I’m not sure of the origins of the war or the implications. President Lincoln was a legitimate racist, so his opinion compared to a slave owner’s mind are both horrific representations of humanity. If it was solely for slavery, and there was no other way to end it, then it was worth 600,000 Americans lives.

I am, however, for keeping all statues. They aren’t the reason for wealth inequality or racism. It’s a diversion than only helps the powerful.
