That kind of ■■■■ is uncalled for and against the TOS.
Take it up with the guy who raised the subject.
Since you know we are talking about Civil War monuments why are you dragging the Lincoln Memorial (1914-1922), the Jefferson Memorial (1939 - 1943), and the Washington Monument (1848 - 1884) into the discussion?
I am sure it was just coincidence that the Civil War memorials in question didn’t start cropping up until the Jim Crow days.
Not even comparable.
I’m bringing it up to point out that memorials are usually erected log after the people and events they commemorate are gone.
The post war south didn’t even begin to recover economically until the WWI period and hadn’t fully recovered until the sixties.
Monuments cost a lot of money.
Some, such as the Robert E Lee Monument in St. Louis were erected rather quickly. The Robert E Lee Monument was finished in 1884. It was to commemorate the person and general that Robert E Lee was, and had nothing to do with slavery.
Of course those kind of things can be found out by digging through historical records.
Yes, “Some”, that was almost 20 years after the war and St. Louis was not crushed during the war like much of the south.
They also had a huge economic boost when the post war land rushes in the west began as it was a major transportation hub and jumping off point for many of the wagon trains. It was also a major Mississippi port and rail hub.
I wish it wasn’t against the TOS. Some posters deserve it.
Arguing with a Avatar the name of which is based on the Devil in Zoroastrianism that eats brains,
and blocks truth, seems kind of pointless
And yet he’s one of the most thoughtful posters here.
That’s just laughable.
Certainly not. I see it when I talk with him and I see it when he and Sneaky converse.
I’m sure you do. You have a lot in common with him.
If you mean politically, then you deserve the negative appraisals you get.
LOL, true enough, but some don’t.
Never gets old.
What kind of a person doesn’t think it’s wrong and react when someone starts telling everyone to “eat babies”??
And she’s advising biden.
lol the crazier the idea, the more the “progressive” left thinks they have to dignify it
Brought it back for another spin around the block…
Did she ever figure out that people shouldn’t be eating babies??
Maybe Biden will finally allow baby-eating.
She’s settling for cicadas at the moment.
