It’s hard to think of symbols more anti-American than the Confederate flag and statues dedicated to people who fought under that flag. Hundreds of thousands of American soldiers gave their lives to restore the unity of our nation from people who sought to tear it apart so that slavery could prosper.  The statues under protest were erected as symbols of slavery and white supremacy, and it is an insult to all Americans that they are still standing.  We can remember the history, but we should in no way honor the men who fought against the United States.
