The obliteration of the anything to do with Southern culture has been the goal of the Left now for a few years. it is gaining steam as all references to the South are now PC incorrect. The destruction of monuments to commemorate part of the history of the US is very reminiscent of what ISIS does. This can be allowed for what the Left is trying to do is sanitize any part of US history that does not meet its ideological goals. Whenever a new ideology has the power to take over a nation, among the very first things they do is eliminate all symbols and references of the old ideology. We are witnessing this very thing with the Left.
