[QUOTE="Junior Bonner, post: 2760163, member: 33416"] I can see why they are pulling her down. Always, though, before it became an avatar of bigotry in contemporary times, it was the symbol of defiance and rebellion. The next icons from that era to come down will be the Rebel statues in front of court houses. Those are icons representing an ill equipped, starving, conscript army forced to fight for rich landowners, who got out of being drafted by virtue of owning 20 or more slaves. Where does this lead? I can surmise that a section of the Nation's history may not be rewritten, but could be swept under the rug or totally erased. When I remarked a couple of years ago at work that my kids didn't know who won the Civil War, one of my co-workers - 20 years old, thought General Lee was a car. [/QUOTE]
