Leftists Purging History or Al Queda in America

[CapnAwesome]

You have to view someone like George Washington through the context of the era he lived in. Washington freed all his slaves in his will. While today if someone did that, they'd be a shitbag but for the context of the time he was progressive on all kinds of things. He lived in a time where slavery was pretty much universal across the globe.

The same cannot be said for the southern generals at all. That was in a time where Slavery was on the decline world wide, and had been abolished in many places.
