The party of lincoln wants to keep up monuments that lincoln would probably not want up, right?

So, you don't know why there are (were) so many confederate statues.
I'm not surprised, since you want nothing but division.

So tell us why so many confederate statues existed.

No, and I dont care? Neither should you, mr. republican? shouldn't you advocate for this if anything? I mean you fought to stop them, and you want them represented now? isn't this just proof of the great party switch?

It was the slaves who bought and paid for the monument of Lincoln freeing them in Mass. that they took down... so...

Just leave it alone

Y'know, you'd never really have to look through things through a racial lens.
You, mr. liberty lover, would never have a problem with a statue of a person who didn't fight to keep you deprived of rights. However, alternatively, if you were on the other side, you probably would have an issue with someone fighting to keep you deprived of rights. However, let's not make that little rightoid brain think TOO hard, because you would never be in MY position.

Ignoring history doesn't mean it didn't happen

The history is WHY the statue was taken down.
