Why Were Confederate Monuments Built?

Yeah, that ignorant Yankee fiction never seems to go away, does it? Especially when it's published by the racist filth at the SPLC. None of the Confederate statues were erected as a message of "white supremacy"; that's just a lie designed to excuse this ongoing purge.  Just as the Nazis called the Jews "untermenchen" as the Brownshirts were undertaking their Kristallnacht, the race pimps and their liberal minions have to concoct lies to justify their savagery.

These monuments were erected to honor courageous men who fought for the good cause of reestablishing the limiting boundaries around a powerful federal government. They legally broke away rather than going after the existing government, meaning there was no treason and no rebellion. They were not traitors and very few were "slaveholders".  The monuments later erected simply celebrated the regular soldiers that fought for each community.  Most units on both sides were made up of friends and family from the same town or area, not random guys from across the country.

And, yes, history matters. Posting this NPR fecal matter demonstrates a rather shallow grasp of the subject.

So, let's have a look at this timeline of yours.  In 1865, the South was economically devastated thanks to to the terroristic tactics of the Union Army.  From 1865 until the end of 1876, the South was occupied and bled white by the carpetbagger parasites and the corrupt Union military scum, so not many monuments could be afforded. From 1877 to 1890, much of the South was still trying to recover from the occupation and the resultant poverty and misery. But as the 19th century's last decade dawned, the old soldiers on both sides began to record their remembrances and gather for reunions. Hundreds and thousands of accounts were published. Families wanted to find out what Grandpa did during the war and were proud of him for it.  The United Daughters of the Confederacy began raising private money to honor family members who were soldiers.  Cities and states began honoring local units and the leaders who had lead a legal secession from a government bent on increasing control and celebrating a ragtag bunch who had managed a four year struggle against one of the world's mightiest invaders, the U.S., who should have overwhelmed them. Southerners fought like hell to protect their homes and families....because the Yankees were "down here".  Nothing more or less.

So, from 1890 to 1920, the former Confederates got old and many died, causing their friends and family to honor their service in that lost cause before they were gone. None of those rituals and monuments had anything to do with "white supremacy", nor do as these statues have anything to do with that today.  These statues were the gravemarkers...the headstones...of the Confederacy. The filth tearing them down now are razing a graveyard; what kind of low life tears up a grave?

Let's talk about the stupidity among the dots on tyour graph about Plessy, the founding of the NAACP and the KKK.  Plessy was an affirmation of laws already being made, so it was no motivator for statues. Strike one.  The NAACP was founded in New York after a series of race riots in SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS.  That organization was still in its infancy when the monument building waned around 1920.  Strike two. And the original KKK in the South died in the 1870's, and the version that showed up in 1915 tended to sprout everywhere BUT the South. Google the pictures from that 1915-1925 era of the KKK: they are all flying AMERICAN flags in Northern cities! Again, not the South. Strike three.  And Jim Crow and black code laws were also present in the North.  That's why most blacks live in the South until the early 1900s; the North didn't want them.

So, I've proven that the monuments erected in 1890-1920 were not racially motivated, so let's look at the 1950s and 1960s. Now why would there be monuments during that time? Let's do a little ciphering, shall we?....the year 1861 plus 100 years is.....well, how about that!...the second peak of little red and blue dots correspond to the centennial of the War Between the States!

Oops. Again, not "white supremacy".

And that, my friend shows just how stupid the SPLC is.  If they were in any way objective, they would have reflected ALL of the other reasons unrelated to "white supremacy" on their grapic and I wouldn't have had to school you on the subject.

Looking for a true explanation for the rabid purging of these century plus old harmless monuments? Here you go:  Animals tend to act on instinct; some creatures will instinctively destroy what they don't understand or things that frighten them. Complexity, nuance and historical detail frightens them, like low IQ children trying to figure out differential equations. Moreover, the real message of the monuments....courage in the face of tyranny...liberty or death....scares the hell out of the left today.

Not one of the statues being attacked represents what is alleged by the race pimps, animals and perverts trying to tear them all down, nor do any of them have anything to do with the death of George Floyd. Remember him? Remember the fiction that this was all about the police? 

Class dismissed.

Seriously?

Or is this yet another Qrank feint?

"Great individuals?"

You mean generals who fought ... well and with *tremendous* passion ... to preserve the institution of slavery.

Is that "great" in your eyes? 

Do you still really have to wonder why people who espouse those viewpoints have an uphill battle to convince people they're not racists?
