Why should we glorify the defeated?
The Confederates lost, plain and simple.
This isn't about honoring heritage or preserving history; it's about perpetuating hate.
That's why the very same extremists who champion MAGA idolize Trump and all the other NAZIs who want to destroy America.
Patriots like Lincoln, Grant, and General Sherman secured our nation's future and prevented it from falling to insurrection.
It's up to those who stand on the right side of history, not those who whitewash the events of January 6, to ensure that future generations aren't condemned to live under a dictatorship.
