There is no excuse to keep up engraved words under those statues, much less the statues themselves that were clearly put up to honor those who fought to keep a very vile and cruel institution.
We can teach history without glorifying a horrible past.
I mean, it isn't like Germans don't know about WW2 and Hitler even though they don't have any statues commemorating Hitler and the Nazis.
BINGO!
Funny how today's Germany knows and accepts it's dark history without glorifying it.
Why anyone thinks Slavery should be treated any differently is beyond me.
