Nor do I. But the names and statues are part of our heritage and history IMO, especially those that have been in place for a century or more. Our country is fairly young after all.I just don't buy the 'just and holy cause' story that a lot of southerns want to spin about the civil war.

Renaming schools and teams simply annoys me, because it's mostly just kowtowing to the PC crowd (again IMO).
