Town Petitions to replace Confederate Monument with Manatee Memorial

Trust me, I know all this. I've only been studying it for 20 years and all. The cause wasn't grey, but the people involved generally were shades of it. You're not going to find too many historians go "He owned slaves, AS SUCH HE WAS THE MOST TERRIBLEST PERSON OF ALL TIME"

Also Stonewall Jackson was a bit of a kickass general. He's really fun to study.

Stonewall Jackson was a very good General so were Generals in the Nazi army. The fact is he fought on the wrong side of history, there is no denying his military genius but owning another person and brutalizing a race of people due to their skin color takes him out the running as being a good guy.

they should make a statue of Harambe instead, it would be much more meaningful. or Cecil the lion.

Who cares about a stupid manatee? or are they making a tribute to the family guy creators?

Snooty the manatee lived in Bradenton, why would a Floridan town want a statue of a gorilla who lived in Ohio?
