The fact that you are moving doesn't change when it was built but it changes the outlook on it

# data[].attributes.body
ayo where is 13 at??

# data[].attributes.body
putting it in a musuem doesnt make it part of the history if it already is

# data[].attributes.body
still doesn't prove my point, why move it when the reason it was there doesn't change

# data[].attributes.body
Also, putting it in a museum shows that it is a piece of history

# data[].attributes.body
If money is the issue then you can put the plaque stating something like the monuments served as a pivotal point in American History. Changing the outlook on the statue makes it mean something different although it shows the same thing.

# data[].attributes.body
I think what Mrs. Clay just said was right because they shouldn't take down a monument if they didnt make any people angry. They should keep it if they didnt make people angry

# data[].attributes.body
Yea, just wait a minute

# data[].attributes.body
16 anything to say?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, if they move it its still going to represent the same person. If they wanted to get rid of it they would have it destroyed.

# data[].attributes.body
yea i agree with 15. Why would they want to move the monument to a different place when it will cost money?

# data[].attributes.body
still doesn't make since why to move it (that will cost money) but they still serve the same purpose.

# data[].attributes.body
oh ok i see

# data[].attributes.body
But it would put it in context.

# data[].attributes.body
it would still serve the same purpose though

# data[].attributes.body
I get that they are part of history, so when I meant remove them I mean to like move the m to a different place. Like a museum.

# data[].attributes.body
In the JS, they mentioned how the monuments had plaques. I think that it is a good idea so it provides backstory and doesn't lead people to have their own interpretations of the monuments.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree once again with 13 and 14

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with number 13

# data[].attributes.body
it would be a different story if was a monument for a KKK member.

# data[].attributes.body
Ok, so how will we know which ones are fake and which are not

# data[].attributes.body
some are not to anger the slaves but to honor the people

# data[].attributes.body
Not all of them but a majority of them were.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think all of them were like that

# data[].attributes.body
it depends it, the person could be a big role in the war.

# data[].attributes.body
I understand where you are coming from. If the monuments provided history, then it should be kept in a museum.

# data[].attributes.body
The reason the monuments were built was to anger African Americans. It wasn't built to honor people if it was then it would have been ok to keep it.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with 13 and 14

# data[].attributes.body
number 16 why do you think that they should be taken down or be put in context?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because it was an American war and many battles and many deaths and many have died

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with 14

# data[].attributes.body
I think that they should keep the monument because they are part of the past history

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the civil war monuments should either be taken down or be put in context.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should keep them because they serve an important role in US history.

# data[].attributes.body
What do you guys think about the civil war monuments?

# data[].attributes.body
hey

# data[].attributes.body
