It's funny how the American civil war is now solely viewed as pro and anti-slavery and the confederate generals have been made symbols of pro-slavery.

now solely? Cheesy

it's long been viewed as being about slavery. Ask any person to name another reason for the US civil war other than slavery and I'd bet 9 out of 10 won't be able to give you one.

Bit different, John, care to guess why?

one you agreed with, the other you didn't.

Or more like one was a tyrannical leader and he erected statues of himself?
Taking down the statues of Saddam is not rewriting history, it was helping to change the future.

rubbish ... if saddam had won he'd still be a tyrannical leader and the statue would still be up Cheesy

the winners decide whether they pull down the statue, not the losers. Last time I checked the confederates lost.

So we are airbrushing history

Fascist racist groups like antifa, BLack lives Matter and other alt left hate groups are trying to rewrite history... the same group that started the riots whereby that woman got ran down by that kkk nutter or what ever he was....

These groups are being funded by billionaires who are trying to cause civil war on the streets of America... people like George Soros and other globalist who are trying to flood western countries with Islamic Muslim terrorists bring these countries down...

To get rid of conservative governments...

To bring in peadophilia by stealth using programs like 'safe schools' so that the next generation think raping children is normal as well as buggery and beastiality...

They are queer sick bastards and need to be pushed back...

And that's where the last labor/greens government tried to take us by opening our boarders to every piece of scum on the earth...!!
