@TowerTasteless you have a LOT to learn LOL. Yes, you caught me, I raped and pillaged my way through every southern town then destroyed all of their statues when I am done. Did you see me in the news? So what interested you in the great world of ARFCOM fellow enthusiast?

My Uncle asked me to go with him to buy a go cart for his son. As we looked them over he said I like this one but I’m not not about the “tech-a-moosh-eee” engine. I laughed and said it was a “ta-cum-sey” He said…that’s why the guy looked at me so funny yesterday.

That!s all I’ve got.

Civil vs foreign war. Even though civil wars tend to be the most brutal, excessive brutality is shortsighted, for the same reason it's not great to antagonize your neighbors.

You need help.  This level of animosity towards so.eone who died well over a century ago isn't healthy.  Trying to destroy what's left of that person isn't healthy.  It'll be hard to actually learn from the history when all the first hand bits are destroyed.  So instead my two book box set of Grant's and Sherman's memoirs will be here on Friday.  It'll go nicely with Longstreet on my Civil War shelf.

What is ironic or moronic is that 90% of the population has no ancestor that was in the fight.

Yet the same people have to tell those that have ancestors that fought in the war between the states what the meaning of nation is.

I believe in history and the preservation of history. There are those that think that just because you reside in these United States that deserve has to be given for doing nothing.

Men died to form the Union, Men died to keep the Union together. And Men die protecting the Union. But the Men that died on both sides of the conflict should not be forgotten or chastised for what they believed in or what they were doing was righteous to each individual.

What I find loathsome is that the family that has put a price on their family history, and has decided that money is more important than family, Country. I guess that is a yankee thing.

There is a big difference between buying something to destroy it and destroying let’s say a Robert E Lee statue standing in a public square.

Watching daily what is happening to our country it is easy to fall on the side of the confederates. Some people can’t see that but I can. But I also understand there was more to the civil war than slavery.

Same here.  He may have been apolitical tool of the state and just "a soldier following orders".  There's plenty of brilliant people throughout history that do the bidding of the state.  The problem today is the state has gone completely insane.  In one of those Sherman auction item descriptions, I'll try to track it down again, there's a quote saying he did not vote.  Not didn't vote for Lincoln, just didn't vote.  That might have been for just that one election but still, not even vote for Lincon.  Very interesting.

GEN. SHERMAN'S LINCOLN BOOKS $4200

Though General Sherman and President Lincoln’s relationship seemed to develop to one of mutual respect, Sherman was inherently skeptical of politics and politicians. He wrote to his brother John about the election of 1864: "I almost despair of a popular Government, but if we must be so inflicted I suppose Lincoln is the best choice, but I am not a voter."

RARE RECRUITMENT BROADSIDE FOR COLORED SOLDIERS $24,000

In the description:

Over 180,000 Black men served as soldiers in the Union Army with another 19,000 enlisted into the Navy. While the dangers of war, infection, and disease were omnipresent threats for all soldiers, Black soldiers faced the menace of enslavement or re-enslavement if captured. Fort Pillow horrifically demonstrated that even in surrender, African American troops were summarily executed rather than taken as prisoners of war. They even faced discriminatory treatment within their own ranks and equal pay to white soldiers was not guaranteed until June 1864.

Southern government agents, i.e., law enforcement, politicians, courts, didn't just disappear after the war.  For the most part they went back to work at their old jobs and continued to fuck with Blacks for multiple generations.  It was another form of civil war, fought (mostly) without weapons.

Why don’t you come on down here…boy?

Lee marched through Maryland and Southern PA. Several Confederate raids into the northern states. How many reports of raping, looting, and burning resulted? None

If Lee would’ve resorted to guerilla tactics, the story may have been much different, but he was a Christian man of principle. Unlike the drunken war criminal you celebrate.

Most of you would say Washington and the Continental Army were traitors, if they’d have lost.

Sherman reintroduced the concept of Total War. You support/pay taxes/supply my enemy. That makes you my enemy.
No different than all those B-17s/B-24s/B-29s bombing the shit outta Germany and Japan.

There's nothing romantic or gentlemanly about war, it's the worst thing we can cook up. Anyone who thinks so has watched too much of Gone With the Wind.

I see a lot talk conflating the removal of monuments with the destruction of actual historical artifacts. I don't even think monuments and artifacts are in the same ballpark.

For one thing, monuments are often placed well after the men they commemorate have accomplished their deeds. The statue of Robert E. Lee in Lee park in Dallas (which was renamed in 2019) was put there in 1936. It was connected to Lee in name only, unlike his personal effects, journals, letters, weapons, etc. from the actual time of the Civil War.

I believe that there is little if nothing to be learned from monuments. That is not to say that they don't serve a purpose. They do, it's just not an educational one. Therefore, removing them, as egregious as it might be to some, doesn't destroy or erase history.

The destruction of historical artifacts, literature, etc. does erase history, however. These are things we can learn from.
