Yes and no one should drink Coke as the inventor was a confederate

Shouldn't remove any of it

Lincoln wanted to ship blacks back to Africa. Should we tear down the Lincoln memorial?

Lee didn't own slaves

It's different about what there celebrating. We are celebrating for the founding fathers for there non Slavery related accomplishments whereas for Robert e lee they are specifically celebrating his Defence of slavery.

Only the ones that led rebellions and/or committed acts of treason against the US

Burn the books!

Libs are erasing history...just like muslims destroying statues in Christian churches and erasing that history.

I don't know why the statue is being removed. He is an important figure in American history. If we removed all historical displays of persons who were a product of their times and not perfect in today's eyes, then we lose all connections with our past. Both the good and bad.

Different ; ) 🐂💩

Founding fathers won their war. The confederacy lost. Why celebrate the losers?

Precisely

Owning slaves is morally reprehensible regardless, but there is a difference between actively fighting to preserve slavery (Lee) and quietly allowing it through inaction (Founders). I also think a minority of the Founders might have opposed slavery, but the Southern states wouldn't have been on board with the Constitution if it had prohibited slavery.

"History is written by the victors."
- Winston Churchill

Trust me, once whites become a 20% minority in our own country by 2100 they'll start tearing down all monuments of white men.

So can we remove that slavery even happened?

Oh please...don't give them too many ideas. Pretty soon, Malcolm X will replace the Jefferson Memorial.
