That’s, not really true. Especially with the kind of war. That’s like saying that the German people would have planned Nazi memorial. They were the losing side. I’m not defending the statue, it’s shitty, and we all know why they built it. And I’m fucking glad they destroyed it. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a legitimate war memorial for racists to a loser.
Look, I’m from Atlanta. I’m going to be a little vague so as to try to not dox myself, but for both geographic and personal acquaintance reasons I’m more familiar with civil war monuments than most. I know the difference between legitimate ones put up to mark the spot where something historically-significant happened and illegitimate ones put up way fucking after the fact to harass black people for getting ‘uppity’ about civil rights, so don’t try to “well ackchyually” me.
The point is, it’s not a legitimate war memorial because those would’ve been installed (or at least planned) sooner after the war.
