[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m from out West. The Civil War isn’t a thing out there. I was shocked and disgusted that streets (Lee Highway) were named after the traitorous Confederate losers. Get with modern times hillbillies![/quote] You should visit Arizona. They have some great Confederate monuments. [/quote] Because it was always about white supremacy. In Arizona it was making sure the Indians and Mexicans knew who was boss. [/quote] First of all, Arizona has exactly 5 civil war monuments. Additionally, Tucson has had Mexican-Americans on city council since day 1. I think people forget that it was Mexican territory so many, many Mexicans lived there until America decided to make it a state in 1912. Most of the monuments were gifts from Southern groups.
