I am not a white nationalist; my family is multi-racial.  I am an American who believes it is important to understanding American history to understanding current events and situations.  The Confederacy, its leaders, and the Civil War are integral parts of American history and I opposed the misguided campaigns to remove all things Confederate from America.  Once the statues are gone, will the next target text books to eliminate everything about the Confederacy.  We have ten U.S. military installations named after Confederate generals like Fort Lee in Virginia and Fort Jackson in SC.  Should they be renamed Fort Emancipation and Fort Justice like Lee Park and Jackson Park in Charlottesville?   Are they destined for the chopping block to be obliterated from history?  No one paid much attention to the statues or made a fuss about them until politicians tried to somehow connect them with acts of violence against blacks.  The senseless assault against history should stop.
