Debate raging over removing Confederate statues and names

Coe joined to fight for the Confederacy "because he was a North Carolinian and North Carolina was invaded by the federal army," he explained.

Coe, one of many reenactors participating in Fairfax Civil War Day on April 29, 2017, is angry about the movement underway to remove Confederate statues and names from public places.

"A statue is signifying a part of the history of this country. Whether you agree with it and what the side fought for, or whether you disagree with it," said Coe.

There have been protests over the decision to remove the statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee from a Charlottesville park. The General's reenactor, Al Stone, says people don't know the full story.

Truth is the Confederacy and all who supported it were traitors and don't deserve to be glorified by any statues or monuments.

1:55PM is surely just trolling for hot responses. Don't fall for it - just ignore it.
Nobody in their right mind would make that statement.

Right or wrong, this period of time is part of AMERICAN history. We can learn from past mistakes and make things better. Eradicating them is not the answer.

It is a terrible shame the south lost, just look at what this nation has had to endure since then. That entire race is now being supported by everyone.

Take all historical statues down and we can all pretend that nothing ever happened. When someone throws the race card we can say....nope sorry never happened.
