Off topic split from Grant v Lee Slave slug fest

"Location: approx. 5 minutes north of Custer on SD HWY16" so I would say most likely not on a reservation. Most likely on former Indian land confiscated by the United States.

So which other enemies of the United States do you think we should celebrate?

 

[Rebforever]

Is it on tribal land?

Maybe Stone Mountain ought to get that treatment.

That is private property.

It would depend on who you mean by we? The Crazy Horse monument and the Stone Mountain monument is a reminder and not a celebration of US aggression by anyone.

By we I mean the members of this discussion group.

Now answer the question, please.

What other reminders would you commemorate?

How about the Hero John Brown: letter about Brown from Frank Sanborn

He is as ready for a revolution as any other man, and is now on the border of Kansa, safe from arrest, but prepared for action, but he needs money for his present expenses, and active support. I believe he is the best disunion champion you can find and with his hundred men, when he is put where he can use them will do more to split the Union than a list of 50,000 names for your convention--good as that is.

The NE Abolitionist were just as disunionist as any Southerner.

One thing at a time, before we move along, other than to ask whether the Crazy Horse monument was on Indian land you haven't stated whether you feel that enemy of United States deserves a monument or not.

 

[BillO]

Well, then, we're glad you want all Confederate monuments to come down. And we are interested that those people who like your post feel the same way.

That is, unless none of you have a problem with the "masters of slavery." Then you should explain why that is.

Personally I think that we overlook the fact that these folks were enemies of the United States, so I'm interested in learning why you support building and preserving monuments to enemies of the United States. Which other ones would you and your "likers" wish to celebrate? Thanks!

That's interesting as I grew up thinking the Feds were the enemy of a United States.

At least they get their own thread.

Somehow I keep getting dragged along as these threads multiply like Tribbles

So it was just fine to be a northern slave owner? What hypocrisy!

You don't have to.

Well, as we're doing one thing at a time, you might actually answer my original question with something other than another question. If not, we're done.

And no, I won't accept "what qestion do you mean?" as an answer.

 

[Bee]

You don't have to.

Cute, but does not apply when the opening quote is mine, and it appears magically. Over and out.

And I would say that in his actions he was an enemy of the United States.

Looks like GA state property to me.
Stone Mountain

Stone Mountain was once owned by the Venable Brothers and was the site of the founding of the second Ku Klux Klan in 1915. It was purchased by the State of Georgia in 1958

Your unwillingness to answer that question speaks volumes. From post 18, in reference to the Crazy Horse monument, My first question: "Should work on his monument stop and what's already there blown from the side of the mountain?" Your refusal to answer would indicate your "I'm interested in learning why you support building and preserving monuments to enemies of the United States" comment applies only to supporters of Confederate monuments

Crazy Horse was an enemy of the United States. Should work on his monument stop and what's already there blown from the side of the mountain?

The Crazy Horse Memorial is being built on private land.

I'm not surprised, imagine the uproar against having a monument to an enemy of the United States on public, municipal, state or federal land.

In today's climate I don't think there would be too much of a protest against a memorial to a Native-American and I'm certainly glad to see one going up.
