In line with my previous post, going through American news brought another controversial news piece to my attention:

Long story short: Apparently that guy was not only a Confederacy General, he was also a "Grand Wizard" of the KKK and, according to records, a brutal and vicious one at that. Some of the things that are said to be his doing are just... Gruesome, and people are still kind of idolizing this man.
What's your opinion on this? Once again, is my limited European view letting something escape? Is there a redemption feature somewhere that makes it okay for this man to have a statue on public land?
