text: I actually think this is a good idea. It's time America stop viewing historical figures as one-dimensional heroes/villains, and understand the context of the time in which they lived. I am against the removal of the Confederate monuments, just as I think it's a bad idea to get rid of monuments to Union generals and soldiers--after all, some of them went on to the wars with the plains tribes. I wouldn't dream of demanding that a Native American tribe remove a monument to Crazy Horse simply because he killed a lot of settlers and cavalry troops. The tribes had many great leaders, who deserve recognition and a place in our history.
