[quote=Anonymous]The South rebelled and attempted to break away from the United States. That's called treason. The leaders of the rebellion declared war on the United States over the issue of slavery. (You can claim it is a state's right's issue, but it was the state's right to keep slavery legal). Many, if not most, of the statues, buildings and street names erected to honor the traitors were put in place long after the Civil War. Many were erected during the Civil Rights era as a provocation aimed at people who wanted to supported voting rights, equal access to quality education and end to racial discrimination. So yes, the statues should come down. (Also, you may say its heritage, not hate. But it's a heritage of hate.) [/quote]
