    Default Should Confederate statues be removed?



    The placement of statues of Confederate soldiers throughout the US but mainly in the Southern US has long been a source of debate within the USA.

    Do you think that they should be allowed to remain up in the public eye, or destroyed, or moved to a museum or some other place of learning?

    • What do the statues stand for, in your eyes?
    • Should they be left out or moved into a private collection?
    • Do you agree with people vandalising them with pro BLM messages?


    What are your thoughts on this?

    Certainly not destroyed. My preference is either to remain in the public eye or be moved to a museum/place of learning. Whether or not it should remain in the public eye depends on how atrocious their crimes were/are. Democratic process should be followed re. removal of statues. A country's history is their history and those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. To 'unperson' historical figures is not the answer.

    No, they absolutely should not. After statues fall and flags are torn down, comes the book burning and witch hunting.

    The victors of the American Civil War, the Unionists, actually promoted reconciliation with the South after the war as they did not want resentment to build. That is why the Confederate leaders were not executed, and Confederate soldiers encouraged to go back to their farms and rebuild the country. The Civil War also was not just about slavery (which kicked it off) but was also the product of a long running dispute in the early years of America over the extent of federal vs states power, see General Robert E Lee. The statues of southern heroes, as well as the flags, are integral to the identity of the southern states as just the concept of Imperial Rome is to modern Italy, or as the British Empire is to modern day British identity. If you look at polling on this issue over the past decade, a large majority of Americans were opposed to Confederate erasure and it is still the case.

    So our founder (Scouts & GGUK) Baden Powell's statue is under threat due to the racist assumptions.

    Instead of removing a statue that actually plays apart in our history they should move the statue into a museum and replace with a more modern and current statue. We can't change the past and we can't change what people did or the actions they committed. But we can move forward.

    I think from my point of view that, all those
    statues should be in like
    museums
    or where they can be safe.



    Then see what happens. I don't think anything bad should happen to them.
