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.

You aren't removing it because of the men they represent. You are removing then because of why they were erected. The Cult of the Lost Confederacy.
