AMERICA - The Confederacy

IMHO:  It's not recognizing that the Confederate cause was wrong from the start, and that they lost the 'argument.'

"Why America is wrestling with Confederate monuments" PBS NewsHour 8/25/2017

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  How should Americans remember the past and confront the deep wounds of slavery?  The events of recent weeks have intensified a national conversation about Confederate monuments, with calls to remove them from public spaces.  William Brangham talks to Peniel Joseph of the University of Texas, W. Fitzhugh Brundage of the University of North Carolina, Pierre McGraw of the Monumental Task Committee.
