Controversial removal of Confederate monuments starts in New Orleans
*sigh*
The Confederate States of America, and everything which it entailed, is a portion of the nation's history. A sad part, yes, but part of it nonetheless. Removing these monuments is, in some ways, censoring the history of the US, a part of the US so significant that the Americans held a civil war over it.
"B-but those confederates were a bunch of white supremacists, just like the Nazis!!"
Funny you brought that up because it's a great example. There are still concentration camps up that you can go and visit for yourself so you can see where the atrocities happened. It's a piece of history and taking it down isn't the right thing to do.
