Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany and the Confederacy all waged war on the United States of America. Do we have monuments honoring Imperial Japan or the Nazis, their ideals or their leaders? The answer seems obvious.
Should we have monuments that honor the Confederacy? Never. They, like the Nazis, were defeated. We may forgive, we should never forget.
We are the United States of America. We should try to live up to our creed, not honor the worst from our past.
