    I mean, of course. But at the same time there are shitloads of statues of and military bases named after confederate heroes in the south. Official recognition is not the same as colloquial and societal recognition, and the confeds sure as shit had that since reconstruction was kneecapped following Lincoln’s assassination.

      At least the names of all the bases named after Confederates were changed a few years ago. West Point also renamed things that were named after Lee (which only existed because for the sake of Reconciliation after the war).
