I’ve always been torn on the issue of the Confederate flag and monuments to the Confederacy. It would be nice if the angry black supremacists would acknowledge those white Union men who fought and died for their freedom.
When seen through the lens of states’ rights, it is easy to defend the Confederacy and the monuments. Slavery is a separate issue; a couple of slave states fought for the North, and all of them had slavery at some point (it was outlawed in my state of NJ 15 years before the Civil War), so the Union flag should be just as offensive.
If they want to re-write or erase history, let them be thorough (not selective); get rid of the stars & stripes.
You know, there was far more slavery under the US flag than under the Confederate flag.
It would be nice if angry black racist would admit their so called champion, Abraham Lincoln among others were favoring colonizing blacks from this country to the Caribbean and or back to Africa. They believed the negro would have a difficulty assimilating into the country.
Anyone heard of Monrovia? How bout Liberia?

While I am generally opposed to attempts like this to just erase history in obedience to political correctness, if they’re going to do it anyway then I think they should create a Museum of the History of the Democratic Party, and fill it with artifacts of the practice of slavery, the KKK, etc. It is their history.

Democrats put them up in the later 20th century in opposition to civil rights for black Americans.
Democrats. Allies of Roosevelt and Kennedy and Truman did it.
Democrats put them up.
