It wasn't the capital. And the statues don't belong in the streets. Get over it.

Why not?
Why don't y'all destroy the Alamo?

I know.

Says who? Nobody for basically 130 years said they didn't. I'm not sure what was suddenly revealed.
quote:Okay. Nothing really to get over here. Why are you so worked up over the issue, though?
Get over it.

Correct. I'll eat crow on that one. My bad

Point still stands. Are we to remove all nation monuments just because the subject of them happen to own slaves? Hell let's just get rid of the Constitution all together being as it was primarily authored by James Madison.
Take George Washington off of the dollar, take Andrew Jackson off of the twenty, Thomas Jefferson off the hundred.
If you're going to remove national monuments because of slavery, it's going be a long a slippery slope.
