The world's largest Confederate Monument faces renewed calls for removal

Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial, a nine-story-high bas-relief sculpture carved into a sprawling rock face northeast of Atlanta, is perhaps the South's most audacious monument to its pro-slavery legacy still intact.

Despite long-standing demands for the removal of what many consider a shrine to racism, the giant depiction of three Confederate heroes on horseback still towers ominously over the Georgia countryside, protected by state law.

Old historical monuments have huge historical value but democrats are using racist foolishness to destroy historical monuments for evil political reasons, not for ideological reasons like they falsely claim. Everyone suffered loss from the issue of slavery, including white republicans who sacrificed their lives and families to put down the evil democrat institution of slavery. White opponents of slavery are not unreasonably disturbed by US historical memorials to blacks, whites, republicans, or democrats who stood on the right or wrong side of US history. Whites should respect historical markers and monuments to former black leaders and blacks should respect historical monuments and markers to former white leaders.
