[quote=Anonymous]Confederate monuments and statues are not actual relics of the time in which the Civil War was fought. They were still being constructed as late as the 1920s, by the “daughters of the confederacy.” Some of the statutes can go to museums, where they can be displayed in context. But why should Americans celebrate traitors to our country? It’s absurd that these things were built in the first place, and they were/are clearly a dog-whistle for white supremacists. Statues honoring Columbus, etc. are less defined in my mind. Where is any given statue and in what context is one being displayed? But if there’s one in the town square and the city council votes to move it to a museum, I have no problem with that. Mount Rushmore is in historic monument in its own right. If visitors need to understand it in better context, then adjust informational displays accordingly.[/quote]
