It applies to not just Hitler but every enemy/terrorist that went to war against The US as that is what The Confederacy did. Lets put up Bin Laden and Al Queda monuments as they attacked The US just as The Confederacy did and its history.The Confederacy killed far more Americans and US troops though.The Confederacys cause was far mor evil than Al Quedas as well.
Went by Tulane a few times in the past and there were Confederate Flags in the windows of a few dorms. I heard Tulane cracked down and you see it less and less. Takes a generation more to weed it out. In Virginia when you get out side of Richmond it was not unusual for me to see Confed flags on properties. I did not see who was in those houses but I assume it was older folk.
Museums is where you remember history.... statues in a square and their naming is a place of honor. With Jefferson and Washington we can remember what they contributed to this country with their slave owning pasts and give both their place in history but a Confed general is just someone who committed treason agaisnt the U.S. government to protect their plantation way of life. They dont belong in a plce of honor but are quite welcome in museums like in Gettysburg, Richmond and many other museums dedicated to the Civil War.
It should also be mentioned that the purpose of these Confederate statues in town squares -- mostly put up in the 1910s and 1920s -- was to intimidate black people and keep them suppressed.
Although denied The Confederacy did solicit help from foreign nations.So not only did The Confederacy kill more American troops than anyone else they were perfectly fine teaming up with foreign nations to do so.
Your opinion is valid. I just don't share it. And, more importantly, I don't agree that my difference of opinion makes me racist.
