21. Unbelievable how the country has coddled these traitors for 150+ years

The South revolted against the USA and attacked it. They were anti American traitors and racists. How in the world did so many Americans become OK with honoring them?

And it has continued for too long. Here's a monument erected in 1999 in my area of the country, West Michigan. It's absolutely appalling and racist as hell.
