The argument is that this is a part of our history and we need to remember it. I agree. Build a fucking museum and put all this shit in there. This statue can be first in line in the “Hall of Traitors,” right on the intersection of the “Hall of Racist Fuckwads.” There absolutely should be a place for these monuments. The state capital is not that place.
