[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The point of a monument is to celebrate and to remember, in a positive way, historical events and figures. [/b]Unless we want to honor Lee for his role in the Civil War, why have monuments to him? We can teach the history of the Confederacy without celebrating it.[/quote] What?? Is history all about remembering only the 'good' things that happened? That's a terrible idea. If we don't remember the bad things, they'll just happen over and over. Do you feel that way about everything? And monuments aren't just to remember positive events. They're to remember that a particular moment in history happened at that particular place. [/quote]
