Reply to comment by [deleted] in Two Baltimore Confederate statues vandalized, no suspects identified by legislative_stooge

Read this speech from the vice president if the confederacy at the time of the civil war and then try explaining why it's a good idea to have statues of the representatives and military brass of that failed nation anywhere in public. https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/mod/1861stephens.asp
