I'm about as anti-CSA as they come, but I think there is a difference between flying the Confederate flag (completely against this) and having a statue of a person who happened to be in a Confederate state (Robert E. Lee).  Robert E. Lee was an American general long before the Civil War, and a statue of him in his home state is no great offense.  With that said, I will agree with Grumps: if states and cities want to remove these statues and monuments, I will cheer that decision as an act of patriotism and putting behind us one of the darkest hours in the South's history, but vandalism is extreme.

On top of what others have said, Benedict Arnold was also a General in the Continental army before his treason, yet we don't see many statues of him around, do we? In the end, I would say that Lee's eventual defection to the Confederacy makes him a traitor in my eyes, despite being pardoned.

In Spain the monuments to Franco still are conserved and only the communists bet to remove them, State referendum in each state on the monuments, The violent left and antifa would refuse to know that the result would not favor them?

This is literally false:

- All statues of Franco in the city of Santander were removed by 2008
- Ceuta's "Franco's feet" were removed in 2010
- Busts and statues in Madrid, Zaragoza, and Valencia were removed
- Large statues in Ferrol and Valencia were moved into museums

Your employer needs to invest in some English lessons if they're going to pay you to troll on a full-time basis. Most Americans couldn't care less about what foreigners think in a domestic situation - you should at least be able to play the part convincingly if you're gonna do this.
By the way I have citizenship I am half American lol
The pathetic left is afraid of referendum,

Looks like we have something in common with the Spanish government then.
