To Trump: The Confederate Generals Depicted in Statuary Were

fighting a war to preserve the false "right" that allowed some people to own other people and to force them to work as slaves.

I'm sorry, PINO Trump. That's not beautiful in any way, and should never be commemorated.

Please learn something, and then RESIGN TODAY!

But if those statues are so important to people, put them up on public land in the Confederate States of America. Good luck finding such a place, though; we wiped it off the map 150 years ago.

And since there are none of those, as you point out, take them all down, melt them down, and reuse the bronze in them for statues that are truly representative of the values of the United States.
