Petition to not only rip down every Confederate monument in the USA, but to grind them into gravel and sell them as kitty litter. Every time you’re mucking out your cat’s box, you can imagine urine stained clumps of Robert E. Lee falling into the garbage.
Might I suggest literally any confederate statue other than Robert E. Lee?
Otherwise you might as well just knock over every military statue in general.
The whitewashing of Lee’s views on slavery is pretty much one of the core pillars of Lost Cause.
Hmn, I decided to double-check it after your post, and it’s as messy as I should have expected from typical history, and the AU fiction writers mentioned at the bottom were a bit too optimistic. Rather, popularizing the fact that the mainline Southern government officials at the time explicitly said it was about slavery seems far more important.
What are your standards on tearing down historical statues, generally?
