Easy history question

What great achievement caused the statues of the Generals of the Confederacy to be erected?

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

I don't have a problem with them being moved or removed by the local authorities but this business of criminals throwing tantrums and defacing and destroying them only results in more of the same...it's mindless, it breeds more violence and destruction.....it won't end with statues....

I agree with the 1st part

But not the 2nd part local authorities
Have failed they have ingnored the people over those affluent donors who wish to see these statues stand going on with the its destroying history BS ..

Change throughout history has been accomplished by the mob.. this isnt new

Nor are the comments from Trump and others about the protester as enemys..

Fear of status tends to do that.. Trump is for Trump 1st. He just wraps the flag around him as a shield claiming hes standing in front defending America...but only the left deals in identity politics?
