If we kept the statue, what if we put up an adjacent statue, in the same size, material and form, of Ulysses S Grant on a horse, who was the leader of the last battle General Lee fought in before signing the peace treaty.
the statue would be parallel to Lee, and would have Grant starring at Lee, and Lee Staring at grant, in an eternal face off...
you faggots commited violence OVER A FUCKING STATUE
I GET IT, IF THE LEFT TAKE THIS DOWN WHO KNOWS WHERE ELSE THEY WILL GO, INCLUDING THE FOUNDING FATHERS
THIS WOULD BE A WAY TO PRESERVE HISTORY, THE FULL HISTORY, THAT THE UNION WON AND THAT WE ARE A
UNITED
STATES
OF
AMERICA!!!!
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKING GOD CONSIDER THIS, THE LEE STATUE WOULD NEED TO BE MOVED A COUPLE FEET, BUT IT WOULD STAY AND APPEASE THE LEFT WHILE PRESERVING HISTORY
THINK ABOUT IT
Jackson Adams
Or put them in museums.
Charles Flores
actually , considering that general lee is looking straight forward, then put the statue right in front of him
HAVE AN ETERNAL FACE OFF BECAUSE THAT IS AS GOOD AS THIS COUNTRY IS GOING TO GET
ISN'T THAT TRUE ART?
ITS NOT FUCKING WORTH VIOLENCE GUYS
Isaac Lopez
defending the statue was fine. bringing the nazis wasn't. next time you see a swastika or a heil hitler at a right wing protest, kick them out. we don't need to unite with that. being associated with edgy nazis makes us look fucking retarded, it's embarassing
Thomas Wood
you are seeking appeasement. it doesn't tend to work. i feel for you, but the unfortunate nature of human existence will dictate that erasure of history.
Asher Davis
akin to the wall street bull and the girl (and I do think the girl is delusional and that is bullshit, but people are not killing each other over the wall street bull and girl statue)
Daniel Edwards
to tell you the truth I woudlnt care if it went, I would care if the left kept going, and I care if the right wing nut jobs are going to act in violence over this fucking over the rest of the right
Joshua Ward
did you have an irl conversation with someone about this earlier because i just had this convo with a guy who comes on pol a few hours ago
Grayson Perez
Good idea, you should send this to Antifa
Justin Cruz
nope, wasnt me
Alexander Cox
NO
Jacob Harris
They weren't nazis retard. And where was the fucking cops when the nigger started to try and burn kids with the flamethrower. Fuck you. Why's that because no one really gives a shit about stocks. How about no. How about you leftists all fuck off back north or by all means come shit up Canada more. How about you apologize for burning GA How about you actually just go fuck yourselves and leave the south alone. You got your free niggers now fuck off.
Isaac Richardson
THERE IS A ULYSSES S GRANT HORSE STATUE AT THE US CAPITOL
WHAT IF WE GOT TRUMP TO MOVE IT ASAP????
wonder what the size comparison would be, minus the pedestol, we coudl construct a new one equal in size to the lee pedestol
Chase Ross
there were plenty of nazis there, i didn't say everyone was a nazi. just that this whole shit show was a trap to demonize the right wing as nazi and justify future actions to be used against us.
Ryder Turner
...
Matthew Gray
and Sherman, Sherman too!
James Davis
Yes, please put all statues on Sherman, Grant, Lincoln, etc. in museums where they belong!
Gabriel Foster
Dude Richmond fucked over Georgia pretty bad. GA didnt even have the option to surrender, because they were under Virginia's bootheel.
Xavier Martinez
I actually like this idea. Poetic.
It'll never fly though, because it keeps the Lee statue standing.
Also, why do I keep getting so many captchas that tell me to find the vehicles?
What does Google know?
Jason Bennett
damn Grant is a qt anyway have Lee sucking black vag and losing most of his battles to more accurately represent history or just give us more Grant statues I'd personally love to see a Sherman statue right in the middle of Savannah, torch in hand, smile on face
Easton Ross
Robert E Lee doesn't deserve a statue after Gettysburg.
He's on the same level of disgrace as any armchair hack from the First World War, we're talking General Haig level
Easton Bennett
If you hate the south and southerners so much then why the fuck do you want us as part of the country to begin with? Edgy yankees shameful that their ancestors fought to unleash free niggers upon us all and so lash out with fistful of Sherman pics even though they hate that same type of big government shit today never ceases to confuse.
As to OP no the statues were placed there as a healing mechanism a signal that the south was no longer occupied territory but part of the nation once more and its heroes are just as much a part of the American story as any others. If you want to debate weather its time to move on from that time and remove the statues so be it but slapping down a symbol of conquest does nobody any good.
Charles Morris
I'm not a yank My ancestors came to Carteret County in 1718 During the civil war, my namesake joined with 25,000 fellow North Carolinians to fight for the Constitution And unlike yours, he won his fights.
Sebastian Gomez
Fuck you he did, he served the state of Virginia above and beyond, bastard deserves more than a statue there. Lee is a different kind of man, a man that put his home before his country something that most people can't even fathom in today's day in age. He joined the south for Virginia, not the Confederacy or slavery, but because he couldn't bare to fight his brother in battle
Kevin Moore
Whats its like being the spawn of traitorous criminal scum?
Ethan Evans
Nah take all of them down, Robert E Lee is a disgrace, Only people who deserve a statue is people who won, replace them all with a Sherman statue instead.
Tyler Clark
We didn't committed violence! 1- our legal event was illegally shut down 2- the Antifa thugs were given carte blanche to attack us (many USA nationalist got injured by the Antifa global terrorists) 3- Antifa Terrorist were illegally closing down a road! 4- Police let them riot, beat USA nationalists, and shut down traffic and harass cars
How about stop fucking with Americans and insulting their country, their legacy, their history, their culture??? How about stop terrorizing the Americans... and stop your dictatorial unlawful oppression of the American people and let them have their constitutional right to protest and have event???
Levi Richardson
This is our history you niggertouching faggot. My family fought and died on both sides of the war. If you are going to take down MY HERTIAGE AND MY HISTORY YOU ARE GOING TO GET A RESPONSE
Matthew Hall
FUCK YEAH, A GOOD NAZI IS A DEAD NAZI
Andrew Carter
>couldn't bare to fight his brother in battle that explains why he lost most of them >coming from an inbred confederate
Julian Rivera
i said we can keep the lee statue, and then add a grant statue
Jaxson Hernandez
You realize that Lee was the first choice as the Union General and did rack up more battle victories than Grant? The only reason the South even did as much as they did was because of Lee, I get you're being edgy but you don't have to be retarded
Bentley Lee
He led his countrymen to the slaughter in a war that Lee knew was unwinnable. Pride drove a man and his country to ruin and he gets a statue for it.
Landon Parker
You see we actually have good records of solders from both side in NC. Those NC unionist units were a sorry lot. 90 percent thieves, bandits, deserters, and other assorted trash. They didn't win anything. They were such shit tier units they were used as garrison troops and on the few occasions the did fight like at the battle Plymouth they got their ass kicked. Meanwhile NC sent more men to fight for the confederacy than any other state but VA which had a much higher population and collected for itself an much respected battle record. I wonder what caused your ancestor to turn on his friends and family. Debt trouble? Maybe he got a girl pregnant out of wedlock? So sad many such cases.
Owen Hill
The South was winning for the majority of the war, they thought they had the advantage until the North realized they were on their last legs and actually started fighting. There may have been a path to victory but I won't claim to know it, I will never not respect a man for fighting for his belief that his own should have their say in how they live though, that is as American as any Union.
Jaxon Campbell
...appease the left
Julian Foster
I totally agree that the only reason such masses of southern men were killed was because of the mind of Robert E Lee. He led the rebels to their deaths fighting against his own country, and you worship him. my ancestor stood for his country. you cannot say the same of yours.
Justin Morris
What the fuck does Grant have to do with Virginia heritage? Robert E. Lee was from the state and led the secession movement militarily. Grant was an invader who leveled the state and fought to destroy the spirit of the constitution and southern sovereignty. Why would they commemorate that? Fuck the union and fuck you.
Joseph Jones
Those are your grandparents, aren't they? Is this them at the family barbecue?
Bentley Cooper
>APPEASE THE LEFT How about we just remove the left and keep the statue?
Kayden Thomas
coming from a fucking leaf kek.
Adrian Ramirez
that would actually be pretty badass. OP, for this one glorious thead, was not a knobgobbling faggot.
Bentley Price
U.S. Grant is based Ohioan. From the most based area of Ohia. He deserves six million statues.
Gavin Martin
the fuck you talking about? I MEAN WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE SMOKING? YOU ARE NAZIS. You are the VERY DEFINITION OF NEO NAZIS. What part of YOU ARE NAZIS don't you understand?
YOU. ARE. NAZIS.
Jordan King
Nah just take it down.
Grayson Green
Proposal to who you faggot?
Who do you think you're reaching here?
Ian Hughes
Fending off half baked invasion plans doesn't count as winning.
Actually defeating the Union was never possible. This is a real problem since one of the qualifiers of a just war is a reasonable chance of victory. There was never a reasonable chance of victory, lee must have been aware of this.
Brandon Ortiz
My ancestors fought for their country which was the great state of North Carolina that legally seceded. I get that you're not well versed in the subject so I am having a bit of fun with you but listen here user. Given the shear number of North Carolinian that fought for the South and number of generations that have since passed unless your family have just been marrying close relatives all this time its nigh on impossible that you dont have some confederate ancestors mixed in there somewhere. You have more than one ancestor after all.
Isaiah Campbell
How about we tear down this statue instead?
Christopher Richardson
>reasonable chance of victory. They just had to make the north sick of war See Vietnam
Ian Robinson
keep jerking off your harry turtledove novels NERDS!
Jack Perry
agreed
Austin Williams
>confederate >was born in Boston How does that even work
Connor Brown
They're the bodies of fascists, killed by the greasy Italianos.
Parker Myers
Some people leave their parents basements
Cameron Sullivan
kek.
>the fuck you talking about? I MEAN WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE SMOKING? YOU ARE MEN. You are the VERY DEFINITION OF MEN. What part of YOU ARE MEN don't you understand?
YOU. ARE. MEN.
Xavier Watson
what's that supposed to mean? just wondering why any yankee would be a confederate, I mean there's john wilkes booth but he wasn't a real confederate.
Matthew Taylor
Because he lived down south
Evan Gray
He lived in Maryland what is technically apart of the south but it's not the south. He was also born in Boston.
William Harris
His statue should be replaced with a statue of General Sheridan, a true freedom fighter who helped free the slaves!
Ryan Barnes
Maryland was very much the south back then. Remember the state song is about killing yankees. Also the highest ranking officer in the confederate army was born in New York and one of the Unions best generals was born in Virginia.
Lucas Harris
...
Asher Rodriguez
No one was even taking down the statue because the courts ordered it to stay up until they could decide if the removal was justified. People were arguing the monument was a symbol of white supremacy and the united right validated their concerns by acting like white supremacists.
Andrew Peterson
He had tiny shoulders.
Benjamin Rivera
Bullshit Source?
Adrian Baker
HOW ABOUT HAVE GRANT ON THE HORSE BEHIND LEE, FUCKING HIM IN THE ASS?
