Really?"Erasing history"? The only place the history of the confederacy belongs is in the history books. I know most of you confederate statue supporting baws aren't familiar with what those are, but you should look into them, they're used for reading and providing knowledge. Statues are idolatry and for heroes...undeserving of the confederacy which was a treasonous uprising against the United States of America by unethical individuals unwilling to understand that the enslavement of any human being is a despicable act.


You must be surprised then to learn that slavery was still legal in non reconstruction states after the end of the civil war... in the US.

Huh? Of course it continued after the surrender of those treasonous criminals. But it became the rule of the land and the phasing out of the practice began. There is a reason they called it the "reconstruction", because the government of the confederate states needed rebuilding. The legality of it ended after the 13th amendment was fully ratified which was less than a year later. Do you assume people stop committing crimes just because a law was passed? Sheesh
