We need to replace them with huge statues of Bigfoot, chupacabra, Mothman and endangered animals, and hot White women.

Even Black people owned slaves back in the day.
So these confederate statues coming down has nothing to do with owning slaves.
They represent a legacy of hatred in this country. These people in the statues went to war against this nation and committed treason to try and keep the status quo of slavery.

Nope. Unlike the REBELS, the founding fathers did not fight a war to keep slaves.

It's not the fact that they ''owned slaves'' that is the problem .. it's the fact that they fought on the side that wanted to keep slavery going in the civil war.

Not a good comparison.
Did the founding fathers ever openly commit sedition and treason in an attempt to overthrow the government of the US?
No.
Did the Confederates?
Yes they did.
