No

It is a part of history

Landmarks celebrating the treason of folks, yeah no thanks.  It was a rebellion that was put down.  Now if they were landmarks celebrating the victory over the traitorous bastards that would be one thing

No. Son of the Confederacy here. It's history not hate.

No.  While some officers were slaveowners, the majority of soldiers were not. One officer, Irish born Maj. Gen. Patrick Cleburne even asked the Confedearcy to free and arm its slaves.  This did not go well and it wasn't until the final month of the war when two small companies of slaves were armed and trained.  They fought during the retreat to Appomattox and were captured.

In the early 1990s, Middle Tennessee State University changed it's mascot.  The mascot had been a confederate cavalry soldier (MTSU Raiders), but it was changed to a Pegasus (and still MTSU Raiders, which no longer made any sense).

The school paper published an interview with the students that led the drive to change the mascot, and they explained their motivation as having been sitting around one day, talking about all the social change that was brought about by college students in the 1960s and wondering what they could do.

So... yeah.  Ignorant liberals with no understanding of history and wanting to show everybody that they care.

 The Yankees only populate south Florida.  They wouldn't have a choice once Florida realizes that unless it can trade enough with other countries through it's southern ports (which it couldn't), it would be forced to join Georgia, Alabama, etc.

This is some ISIS and Hitler or stalin type stuff .

No, what long term purpose what it serve ? It's like renaming political activist streets, you wouldn't know what kind of area your in. 

Hey dumbass.  Name one Confederate who was convicted of treason.  Just one.  I'll give you a hint.  You're going to have a hard time trying to find one.

Knee jerk jackasses like you don't put much thought into these things, do you?  Your feelings are all you are able to go on.

Hell no and I'm the great great grandson of a Union Cavalryman.

They attempted to secede, maybe you should look up what that means in the dictionary.  Critical thinking is not your strong point, is it?

Particularly Taliban Mitch.  What an asshole.

I think when his sister Mary was kicked out of office in late 2014, he decided to get back at people any way he could.  The church shooting by Dylan Roof in 2015 gave him the chance he was looking for.  I truly think that's what this is all about, getting back at people, not that he cares for anyone other than himself.

I bet he also thought Hitlery was going to win the Presidential election and this would be a good way to piss off the people of Louisiana and get in good with the D.C. crowd.  Hitlery losing just pissed him off even more.

The good thing is even if he is successful and the monuments come down, he is going to find it rough going to stay in Louisiana.  I personally hope he's tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail.
