History is history.......erasing it to pretend it didn't happen is silly.  So is taking down statues, which are not necessarily put up to honor, but to remember.

They were put up to honour them, to venerate them.  What evidence do you have to say otherwise?

Well let's just take this recent story as an example........read it.

One example, out of 2000 or so.  Yeah great track record.

I said in my initial post they are not necessarily put up to honor........I didn't say they're never put up to honor.  You asked me to put up an example or shut up.  I put up. In fact Gettysburg is a HUGE example, not some statue in a square in BFE.   So shut up.
