examples like how Stalin uprooted Lenin behind his back tho they were close friends
the complexities of heroes & villains even Lincoln as we mentioned paint fuller pictures.
what I do agree with you on is if there's a statue/memorial of "George P. Farmer who died here in virginia killing indians... he built this church too". that shit is not relevant to how we shape our understanding. But General Custer is & how he savagely sought revenge on natives that had nothing to do with his war
do we need to learn about hitlers chidlhood, his forays into art school, his relationships to learn about the holocaust? no, we don't. but it still happens and it absolutely doesn't need to. his picture does not need to accompany holocaust education. pictures of survivors and pictures of the camps and pictures of people IN the camps do. we don't need to humanize people who have committed atrocities.
show me a memorial of Hitler that talks about his passion for art
or are you talking about burning books?
we might need those relationships to understand idk the war???
does it matter that Napoleon was Sicilian & jealous of the french?

that's really funny shagg because i was having a conversation with Tyler until you barged in with your liberal useless nonsense about The Antifas and thinking "alt left" was an actual, coherent movement. you really should try to educate yourself before butting in when the adults are talking.

for the rest:
SHOULD we understand what General E. Lee fought the Union for? Not just that he DID but WHY?
and as an opinion:
i think there's nothing wrong with having a Civil War museum and these statues in it.
the whole point of charlottesville was that these memorials in public spaces intimidate people of color with family history in slavery & are ill reminders and perpetrators of supremacy. now the conversation is LITERALLY becoming about erasing history via Niki's side

What? Could you clarify where history books were doing this? Are you talking about history in general and not what was taught in class?
