Never, ever too late to right a wrong. But we need to be sane and logical about judging people from centuries before. Pretty sure you knew what I meant.
In general, the Confederate cause was treasonous and beyond racist by today’s standards. (The right knows this, because as we all know, it was predominantly judeo-christian conservatives who led he abolitionists. ). But there were many confederate soldiers who fought for something other than slavery.
It’s hard to imagine he founding fathers owning slaves, but some
did. That was the world then. Do we take down all monuments to all of them? Re-name the nations capital? Where does it stop?
