First of all, Washington and Jefferson were not around during civil war times. They are the founders of the U.S. and yes they were slave owners. But no one is saying that slavery did not exist or is trying to erase its history.
But WHEN THE TIME CAME for the abolishment of slavery, the Southern States and its players failed. They failed morally and lost in their TREASONOUS acts against the United States of America. So why should there be statues in their commemoration? They are NOT heroes.
By this reasoning, if we are going to have statues of every person in American history, we should have a statue of Bin Laden, right? B/C that fucker played a big part in our history.
Want statues? I can think of thousands of everyday heroes far more deserving than the treasonous likes of the confederates.
But stop with the BULLSHIT excuses to prop up people who fought to keep the establishment of slavery.
Just stop with the BULLSHIT excuses. We can see through the thin facade right to the racism that is at its core. That would include you, Mr. Sasse! POS.....
