I agree that this country needs more monuments to GEN Sherman.
He had me until the last paragraph. Cities, states, and entities that own Confederate monuments can make up their own minds regarding what to do with them. I was a bit saddened that New Orleans tore down the PGT Beauregard statue, but that's their call, not mine. -
A very salient point:
If southern whites cannot abide the memory of their humiliation and ruin in the Civil War, all the less can black Americans abide the memory of two centuries of slavery and another century of second-class citizenship. There is no path to national unity on this sort of issue. The Confederate monuments have been in place for almost a century and a half, and it is unreasonable to make an issue of them today. But people are not in the market for reasonable.
Tear all the motherfucking confederate statutes down.
Then STFU about reparations and slavery and shit that happened 150 years ago. It's over.
Go build some fucking casinos like the red man did and take the white man's money.

That is actually a great fucking article.

Also high on my list of underrated Generals is "Iron Tits", Matthew B Ridgeway. -

3-4 Star Generals wearing hand grenades is Tuff. Ridgeway commanded 82nd Airborne though in WWII so no Grandpa Swaye connectionSwaye said:

He would have hated Grandpa anyway. Landed in a ditch and broke his legs up. I am sure General Iron Tits preferred his soldiers to be upright and fighting.YellowSnow said:

Just heard this morning that San Diego is removing a plaque that was going to commemorate the end of the Jefferson Davis hi way in the 20s
That seems to be the big decade for monuments
People actually thought naming a hi way after him was a good idea
The first Trans gender hi way was the Lincoln Road. -
I lived for three years at 1515 Jeff Davis Highway in Arlington VA. Can't say I ever liked writing my address.

When the East Tennessee Appalachians hear me talk and say "You ain't from round here" I tell them they are a bunch of union sympathizers and my state was second to secede, and next to last to return... -

A very good article. I keep wondering why now and have my own opinion but LarryinIowa's comment at the end of the article summed it up nicely:
"Some find it politically advantageous to reopen healed scars and divide Americans against each other. They thrive on hatred and strife. They call themselves Progressives".
Of course I love irony.

I have to agree with my long time sparring partner on this one. I found it odd this week that so many of them had been put up in the 20'sdhdawg said:

Slow and painful as it was, Blacks had made some progress by then and whites were nervous. And I am talking northern whites -

With that said, it is apparent that my prior poasts focusing on your lack of a good grasp of Engrish hurt a little bit. Let me be the first to extend the olive branch and say I am truly sorry. I am entirely confident that you know, and knew, the difference between affect and effect. I should not have been so indulgent.
