How so? Will people forget who lost the Civil War without monuments to the Confederate losers of that war?
Both sides weren't Americans.
The Confederates weren't Americans. They turned their back on America to form their own country.
We don't need monuments to people with poor judgment and whose allegiance to the country is fluid at best.
Says who? You haven't given a compelling reason as to why they will or must stay.
You say they serve as a "reminder of our history".
How do they do that?
Will you suddenly forget which side lost the war if monuments to the losers are torn down?
Like I said, just try to remove them.
You are telling me you won't remember who won the Civil War if we take down the monuments to the losers?
No, I'm saying you will be met with a resistance of extreme prejudice by those of us Pennsylvanian's who will protect our land and it's contents.
You just said Pennsylvanians fought to repel the Confederates whose memorials you want to preserve.
So your argument is cognitive dissonance.
On the one hand, you say it was Pennsylvanian hicks who repelled the Confederates (not true, as the Union Army at Gettysburg included division from almost all the states in the Union), but on the other, you're saying the descendants of those PA Union soldiers want to keep up the monuments to the people their ancestors killed.
Your entire argument makes no sense and is cognitive dissonance.

Your support of and desire to honor traitors and treason against the United States duly noted.

Is that right? Then why are you so hot to have them removed? Did you forget that all southerners were pardoned? No your excuses are nothing but bullshit.
Because they serve as state-sanctioned intimidation of black people.
LOL!
Andrew Johnson was impeached.
So you want to preserve monuments to traitors who lost because they were eventually pardoned by a President who was later impeached?
The bar seems very low.
Which makes the fact you want to preserve their monuments even more dumb.
Yes it is true the Union Army consisted of many from other states, but keep in mind a man will fight more determined to preserve his family and property.
That said, what makes you think we won't fight to preserve it again?
Right, they fought and defended their land from people to whom you want to build monuments.
Cognitive dissonance.
PA wasn't on the side of the Confederacy in the Civil War, doofus.
Your lack of intellect is truly noted.
LOL! Who said we were? I surely did not.
RB60's argument, in brief:
In the Civil War, some Pennsylvanians fought alongside the much larger Union army to repel the invasion by the Confederates, who were defeated. Because of that, RB60 thinks monuments to those who invaded Pennsylvania should be preserved.
I know, I know...it's incredibly stupid. It's the weakest attempt to excuse inherent racism.
So why are you defending monuments for the people who attacked Pennsylvania?
Oh right...because without those monuments, you won't be able to remember who lost the Civil War.
