Can you give a better argument besides it’s history? Just because someone is a historical figure doesn’t mean you should name a military base after them

Did you hear about the 2 cops who

Was fired

For defending themselves

I don't need to give a better argument to something that helped to forge our country into what it is now. If you try to remove history, it simply repeats itself.

I smell a civil war coming

Yes you do because the axiom you picked for defending the statues is just “it’s history”. But if hypothetically Germany had a “Hitler airforce base” that would be problematic. A very good response to your argument would be to just put the statues in a museum, and not glorifying them in public

For the record, I’m not in favor of tearing them down. And I wouldn’t disagree that the history behind them is an important reason to keep them. I just think that argument alone isn’t strong enough

We must learn from history

So that we can prevent it or lessen the problems

Tearing it down will make people forget the solutions and will repeat the problems maybe worse since now a days weapons are more advanced

Tearing down statues -> people forgetting about the evils of slavery -> second civil war. That’s a dictionary definition of a slippery slope fallacy.

We still learn about slavery/the civil war in school, and we would have them still in museums. The purpose of the statues is to admire and honor them, not to remember a nasty past.
