    They aren’t even statues.

    They are participation trophies paid for butthurt racists 60-90 years after the war.

    Fuck the daughters of the confederacy.

      Yeah, it’s telling that most of these were put up after all the local veterans of the Civil War died. You can pin a LOT more ideology to a dead body successfully.

      I knew I’d heard of them at some point but never bothered to find out who they were. Here’s a snippet from a PBS describing them:

      "This organization, originally comprising female relatives of Civil War soldiers who fought for The South, was instrumental in propagandizing the war and reframing its origins by coining phrases such as “The War of Northern aggression.”

      Calling Confederate monuments “participation trophies” needs to become a thing.
