The fighting preacher. What a load of crap bleaching history. The good and the bad.
It seems some want to repeat the past.

So, it sounds like you want to include all history that fits your narrative, but want to exclude the history you don't like. Fair and balanced.
Slavery didn't happen if the slaveowners are erased.
The Constitution never existed if the signors are erased.
Democrats are anti-American vile scum of the earth Pinkos.

To be fair...Leonidas Polk owned a shite-ton of slaves. The 1850 Maury County, Tennessee Census showed he owned 400 but there were estimates of up to 1,000 leading up to the Civil War.
Polk also had a famous rivalry with General Bragg and continually tried to get Jefferson Davis to relieve Bragg of his command. He was killed while his troops were getting the shite kicked out of them by Sherman because he let them get flanked...and eventually his failure as a leader led to Sherman taking Atlanta.

Troy Middleton was a Corps commander in WW2 in Europe and as much as any American General, responsible for the military defeat of the Nazis, the victory of the United States armed forces, and the preservation of Western Democracy. The library on the campus of Louisiana State University was named in his honor. He was recently erased.

Maj. Gen. Leonidas Polk, CSA

Military historian Steven E. Woodworth described the shell that killed Polk as "one of the worst shots fired for the Union cause during the entire course of the war", as Polk's incompetence made him far more valuable (to the North) alive than dead: "Polk's incompetence and willful disobedience had consistently hamstrung Confederate operations west of the Appalachians, while his special relationship with the president made the bishop-general untouchable.

I find it funny that Fort Polk, home of the big green weenie, is renamed Fort Johnson.
As if Big Army wants to let you know the name changed but the frickery hasn't.

The memorials were built as the civil war generation began to die off. We wanted to honor that generation, and we wanted to make sure that they were never forgotten.
You saw the same phenomenon with WW2 in the US, the national memorial was built as memories of that period faded.

They destroyed the Confederate monuments because they hate us, and they want to destroy our culture. Slavery was just a convenient excuse for them.
They’d destroy the Washington monument, if we let them. It’s all the same thing to them.

You are a ignorant fellow. Polk was neither a excellent commander nor a bad one. Good leaders on both sides were rare and bad one's plentyful. Laugh in ignorance.

Eeeeehhhhh. Polk and Bragg were in competition to see who could be the worst. Bragg only wins because he lived. But there is no doubt Polk was pretty bad.....the soldiers loved Polk though

slavery? How about this?
a link to the actual book
the book bell wrote
it's eye opening, worth a read
my current favorite passage, no one would listen to them
kinda like the pedo crap now.
how many of the white girls came from the south, and were shipped off to other places?
carpetbaggers, or slave traders?
