The Robert E. Lee statue is gone from a Dallas park. Now what?
The fall of Robert E. Lee's statue Thursday and the end of the saga surrounding the Oak Lawn monument have opened up a new front in the war on Confederate symbols in Dallas.
The focus on Friday began to turn away from the now-empty pedestal in Lee Park and back to City Hall, where the Mayor's Task Force on Confederate Monuments discussed what to do with the removed Lee statue, as well as city streets that are named after Confederates. The statue's removal had dismayed some Dallas residents, who flooded City Council members on Friday with angry and insulting messages or took to the open mic at the task force meeting.
Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway said some people have "hate in their heart" that can't be removed like the Lee statue. But he said Thursday's removal, which came after several fits and starts, was a step forward.
"Dallas is at peace now," Caraway said. "The removal was the beginning of bringing the peace to the entire city. I'm a little disheartened that people have such negative hate in their hearts and are so openly displaying it.

What are people really feeling about these confedarate's statues ?
I mean, in general, not only what is reported in the newspapers?
I'm probably not entiteled to give an opinion, but would it not be better to remove all these statues that is , inevitably, a reminder of the dark days of slavery ?
For those who are opposed to the destruction, if by any chance some of them are not right wingers, why not create a sort of "open sky museum" ?
A kind of instructive project which will teach and show the real face of History, not the embellished one?
The statues' subject always reminds me "Gone with the wind". I have read the book when I was 16 years old. Too young to understand how much the book was biased.
I remember the romance took it all and disguised somehow, the watered down way the slavery was shown in the book. However, I had some doubts about the accuracy of this point.
I also remember another point which bothered me a lot. It was sayed that the KKK was created to defend and protect people from the "emancipated negers" which were described as violent, lazy and unstrustworthy in the opposite of the slaves who stayed with their ancient owners.
I'm sorry, I'm a bit of subject 
I have already evoked this in another topic a few weeks ago.
I would like to open a specific thread but I don't feel enough fluent to do.
To me, History do not justify to keep such statues.

It is more or less, what I meant above.
It will put every event in it right place.
A statue is meant to glorify a special historical event or person. Well, it is what I personaly think.
What does glorify a single statue of General Lee or any other Confedarate General?
Unless the fact that their obduracy ruined the south and let it down for a long time, rushed entire families into pain and distress.
Is it really what it is wanted to be remembered?
By what I know about American history (not very much in fact, only the basics), the Civil War have not brought much good to the country.
