The Civil War Was Fought Over Slavery
Yes! The Confederate Flag is a symbol of hate, it should not be on any government piece of property or flag. Remove it!

This #wokeness is so absurd! We should not change streets names if they are named after confederate soldiers. Good or bad, erasing history in some purification initiative is a non-ending game.
No politician or historic human being is purely good. Where does it end? Just look at San Francisco, they tried to rename a school that is named "Lincoln"...yes after Abraham #Lincoln! He apparently is not pure good enough for the fringe #woke left in 2023, even though he had 100,000,000% more courage and intelligence than any current SF politician.

While I understand your concerns about changing street names related to Confederate soldiers, it's important to have a nuanced perspective on the issue. The intent behind renaming streets is not to erase history, but to acknowledge the struggles and inequalities that certain figures symbolize. It's a part of a larger conversation about inclusivity and addressing the injustices of the past. However, I do agree that we shouldn't erase the complexities of historical figures by expecting them to be purely good. Abraham Lincoln, for example, played a pivotal role in ending slavery, a noble accomplishment. Nevertheless, it is important to critically analyze his actions and acknowledge that he had viewpoints, like most historical figures, that would not align with today's moral standards. The debate surrounding street names and historical figures is ongoing, and it's crucial to engage in a respectful dialogue that considers the different perspectives and nuances at play. By doing so, we can work towards a more inclusive society while maintaining a truthful understanding of our past.
