Lee didn’t fight for slavery’ he fought for his home.

The fact that these elected fascist frauds dare stand in judgment of people of the past when we’re the most ethically, morally, socially and spiritually depraved and debased since the founding of the Republic makes it all the more egregious.

War was going to happen regardless. If the Civil War had occurred decades earlier, say the early 1830s, President Jackson would have been no less obstinate in keeping the union together (and as said, he would’ve hanged the leaders, including his own 1st term Vice-President Calhoun).

Specifically, slavery was legal in the Union slave states of Missouri, Delaware, Maryland and Kentucky until the ratification of the 13th amendment in December of 1865, 8 months after the surrender of the Confederacy.

WHEW. Finally I’ll be able to walk through the streets of New Orleans, outside the safety zone known as The French Quarter, without worrying about the natives.

No, the South;s decision to go to war to preserve an economic system based on slavery cost the nation 650,000 lives.

They might as well put up a statue of Ben Butler while they're at it

It looks as if Ben's men left their legacy.


Rape, Rape, Rape, the women
Loot, Loot, Loot the linens
All we will leave behind
Is ruin and pregnant women...

Butler's men sang this marching through New Orleans.

New Orleans is a crap hole . Somewhere better can put them back up if they want. Liberals prey on the dumb.

The communist north was the one preying on people. Educate yourself the south didnt care about being part of the country. It wasnt about slavery.

“I do hope a nearby town moves in and claims the statues. They can even poach some of the tourist trade.”

That’s a great idea. Even if one thinks succession was a lousy idea (it was), those Confederate monuments have historical value.
