@colinhoulder3712 I'm not sure about the monuments part. Didn't they just take down a monument to a slave trader in Bristol, a few days ago?

Ed G With the invention of the cotton gin in 1794, the southern need for slaves was greatly reduced. Also, the Industrial Revolution came to the US in 1790. By the time of the Civil War, the North was not poor. If the Civil War were before 1800, your point would not be moot. But it occurred 61 years later, and the conditions you describe did not apply.

@MAGA COUNTRY So what? During the Civil War Republicans were the radicals, the extreme left, the crazy liberals of their day. That has changed. Even you cannot claim the current GOP is liberal.

@MAGA COUNTRY It is easy to determine which statues to tear down, those who fought against the USA. It is not about who did or did not own slaves, it is about who fought with the USA in order to keep them.
