Columbus was a hack.

da anarchists weren't even correct, didn't da olmecs get here first?

 

[RIP sleazyy]

On July 9, 1776, upon hearing the Declaration of Independence read for the first time, a mob of American colonists descended upon a statue of King George III in Bowling Green park in Lower Manhattan, tied ropes around the sculpture and pulled it to the ground. The lead from the statue was then turned into bullets and muskets in preparation for the Revolutionary War.

Columbus don't give a damn about your black/latina self.

I remember being damn near forcibly told that the civil war was about "states rights" as opposed to "slavery" in grade school.

I used to always select "slavery"....and they'd tell me I was wrong like it was some trick question

White teachers telling me....."no no no.....the civil war was about "States Rights". Made the North seem like some big bad country that wanted to impose its way of life over the South and its "charming" culture

My favorite thing about the Civil War being about "states' rights" is that it's such an easy argument to debunk.

All you have to do is ask "which rights were they fighting over then?".

Teachers really banking on dumb/complacent students.

 

[RIP sleazyy]

I do that to people whenever they say it.

The look on their face when they can't run from the answer is priceless.

This is extremely interesting information that I did not know.

Gonna go ahead and bookmark that tweet.

Essentially trying to preserve terrorist propaganda and disguise it as historical artifacts. Okay.

 

[wavycrocket]

I could never watch or read gone with the wind. I got hipped early to what it was about.

Southern, racist propaganda.

 

[whywesteppin]

i remember in middle school our teacher starting off the block on the civil war by saying, "the truth is that the civil war wasn't really about slavery."

I'm all grown up now but I'm still waiting to find out what it was about then.

Big coincidence, the nose is gone because it was actually partially destroyed. Soooo that's why that looks like that.

These are actual important artifacts with long-standing history of importance. They're not monuments to rapists and murderers.

But you knew that.

 

[deleted]

Majority of these monuments weren't even built in the period immediately following the Civil War

They were put up during the Jim Crow era

I'm sure that's just another coincidence tho

 

[RIP sleazyy]

I think he's mostly talking about the Columbus statue but that is even worse cuz dude is caping for a monument to a dude who literally raped, murdered, and enslaved his people.

Like why

"da history"

The Parthenon is a monument to Athena and was a temple.
