You say you choose your view is more historical accurate. What does a statue of Robert E Lee do to embrace any form of historical accuracy?

To borrow a line from Jim Jeffries:
"There are no statues of Hitler in Germany, but some how they know he's a bad guy."

Removing statues that were put up during Jim Crow to express control by whites over blacks is not going to wipe them from history. They are not going to remove the sections of history class children take on the civil war. People will still know who Robert E Lee is.

Hint: I know who he is and what he looked like and I have NEVER seen a statue of him.

This idea that not celebrating the dark times of your country is not historically accurate is bupkis. You can crack a book or go to a museum if you want to learn about what the Confederacy stood for. What we need to not do is glorify it in the town square.
