I’ve found the vast majority of monument haters to be second and third generation to this country. They weren’t passed down the same value system that most native born Southerners were, the most important of which is family. Every one of my ancestors during that era were confederate soldiers. I’m not going to judge my ancestors by the standards I live by today.

I agree

quote:

Society is indeed a contract. It is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.
