It would depend on the statue in question, if it's a generic 'for our boys' statue I don't see any harm, but if it's of a particularly objectionable person it's fine to remove it regardless of historical value.

There are no statues of people who are not particularly objectionable in the South, hope this helps :tipshat:

Maybe a symbolic statue of a hick that got roped into dying for the Confederacy while the aristocrats sat drinking mint julep tea on their plantations. But I assume that type of statue is outnumbered by Robert E. Lee statues 5,000 to one.

Those statues are bad because they're not specifically monuments to the loss of life or to the fact there was a war, but are specifically statues commemorating how these noble men stood up against the norths vile oppression of "states rights" (to own slaves).

It would be like a bunch of statues of Hitler trampling on infants with a little plaque at the bottom stating "on this day in 1940, hitler finally cleared all the scum out of Warsaw, sieg hiel"

As said, those statues were nothing except an attempt to whitewash history in the first place.

Even that is important, that it's recorded that the whitewashing was done/attempted. Place them in a museum with a plaque reading "Histories greatest cunts" or something. Moving a statue or book elsewhere is okay, destroying them and pretending they never existed is what I don't like.

You're free to go see them at the local landfill where they belong. I mean, you do know that the servers for Robert E Lee's Wikipedia page is not stored in his statues, right? History is not being erased by taking down the things that were meant to scare black people into knowing their place.

Melt 'em down and re-cast them as commemorative toilet bowls, with plaques on 'em so everyone knows what they did.

Taking them down like this is a shame. They should be knocked or pulled down like the statue of an Eastern European dictator.

The Germans will straight up arrest you for even suggesting that the holocaust maybe possibly didn't happen, but the Japanese would probably say "Nanking? Never heard of it!"
