There was a shift in ideology with the democrats and republicans swapping views. This is the sort of history you can learn from a book, not a flag or a statue
An interesting concept. Statues of all the VIP's in a time line showing their good and bad sides and the social climate of the times, an education in progress rather than a blanket honour.
BTW I'm sure there are a few statues around of our first prime minister, Sir John A. The one that was PM before women could vote.....
Ouch. I just stumbled across this.

Maybe we should go with Lenin's system of just giving things numbers. No costs involved when someone falls out of favour.
What about people with the same names?
Not sure if all this is true, but the guy definitely existed, fought in the war, and led the Readjuster party. General William Mahone.

I've said it before & I'd say it again, Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Just saying something repeatedly doesn't make it true. Kind of like "the US dollar is at an all time high!"
That's beside the point that obviously having a certain political affiliation is not a mental disorder. But you be you.

What about these statues? Should thet stay or should they go?
Buffalo Soldier monument, Leavenworth, KS
Buffalo Soldier
"the employment of the Buffalo Soldiers by the United States Army in the Indian Wars has led some to call for the critical reappraisal of the African American regiments. In this viewpoint[SUP][39][/SUP] the Buffalo Soldiers were used as mere shock troops or accessories to the forcefully expansionist goals of the U.S.government at the expense of the Native Americans and other minorities."

Anyone who thinks the riots in Charlottesville had anything to do with a statue isn't paying attention.
