From the July 12, 2017, Google Alerts for Confederate.
** What should we do with monuments to slaveholders who weren't Confederates? That is a good question. If monuments to Confederates have to come down because of slavery, then monuments to anyone who ever had slaves, Confederate or not, need to come down as well.
The writer of the article said that George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin and James Madison owned slaves. I didn't know that Benjamin Franklin owned slaves, however. A total of 12 United States presidents were slaveowners. All vestige of them need to be removed according to Blacks and their minions.
And Lincoln, though he freed the slaves, was not originally going to abolish slavery in the South, just contain it. Since he was ok with its existence, all things with his name on it have to be removed as well.
