In the world we live in, some people want to remove our statues of the confederacy in the south. Statues of so many of the men who really were fighting against Tyranny. These men considered their states as their country. They had a foreign invasion from the northern states under the flag of the United States. These men were fighting to protect the Sovereignty of their State (country). Me, I look at these men as heros! I don't believe no statues in our country that has to do with our history should be removed! FOR GETTING RID OF HISTORY AND IGNORING IT IS HOW IT REPEATS! This country is as divided today as it was right before the war between the States. So, while we are it, how about this statue which is at Fort Benning Ga. After all people, does he represent violence, force, death, or does he represent freedom, liberty, help, hero! Well, that's for you to decide. But before you remove any of them, I believe you should research your history and make sure you are on the right side of the fence. Me, I want FREEDOM,LIBERTY,and THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS! We should always look back and see the mistakes of the past. If more of us knew our history, maybe we could change our future for the better! The Tyrants are here! Read you Declaration of Independence! Read your Constitution! So, instead of worrying about a statue that only represents our history, you should be watching the ones that want to rule and take away from you today!
