<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 268875, member: 23"]I am opposed to censorship in any form unless someone is being hurt. Whichever side you feel strongly about in the Civil War, you cannot change history nor should you try to delete it. Maybe publicly honoring the generals of the losing side is anathema to some modern sensibilities, I don't see Lee as being in the same category as a dictator like Saddam Hussein, so I don't think his statues should be demolished. They offer a teaching opportunity. He was doing what he thought was right for his constituents. It's not like he was torturing people to get their property or money. That's my two cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
