Why Statues In The First Place?
#21
RE: Why Statues In The First Place?
Why did the statues exist?

Its because of the daughters of the confederacy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Dau...onfederacy

Quote:he stated purposes of the organization includes the commemoration of Confederate States Army soldiers and the funding of the erection of memorials to these men. Many historians have described the organization's portrayal of the Confederate States of America (CSA), along with its promotion of the Lost Cause movement, as advocacy for white supremacy,[2][3][4][5][6][7] and have asserted that promotion of the Confederate tradition has been led by the UDC.[8] Until recent decades, the UDC was also involved in building monuments to commemorate the Ku Klux Klan.[7][9]

Quote:During the period 1880–1910, the UDC was one of many groups that celebrated Lost Cause mythology and presented "a romanticized view of the slavery era" in the United States.[4] The UDC promoted white Southern solidarity, allowing white Southerners to refer to a mythical past in order to legitimize racial segregation and white supremacy.[45] The UDC worked to "define southern identity around images from an Old South that portrayed slavery as benign and slaves as happy and a Reconstruction that portrayed blacks as savage and immoral."[46] Their lost cause narrative was codified in their “Measuring Rod to Test Text Books and Reference Books,”[47] which UDC chapters unanimously endorsed and used to infect their false, white supremacist views in school curriculum across the South.[48] Historian James M. McPherson has said that the present-day UDC promotes a white supremacist and neo-Confederate agenda,[49] saying

I think I agree a hundred percent with Ed Sebesta, though, about the motives or the hidden agenda not too deeply hidden I think of such groups as the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Sons of the Confederate Veterans. They are dedicated to celebrating the Confederacy and rather thinly veiled support for white supremacy. And I think that also is the again not very deeply hidden agenda of the Confederate flag issue in several Southern states.[50]

The Southern Poverty Law Center considers the UDC as part of the Neo-Confederate movement that began in the early 1980s, which the Center states is "a reactionary conservative ideology that has made inroads into the Republican Party from the political right, and overlaps with the views of white nationalists and other more radical extremist groups."[51][52] In August 2018, its website still stated that "Slaves, for the most part, were faithful and devoted. Most slaves were usually ready and willing to serve their masters."[53]



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
