Erasing history by destroying statues teaches us nothing. But the THUG protestors in Durham, North Carolina will never understand that. This is what they deemed to be the solution to fixing the Civil War:

What statue was it?

WNCN reports the statue was dedicated in Durham in 1924 and was located in front of a local government building.

The statue represented a soldier who fought in the Civil War and an inscription on the front read “The Confederate States of America.”

Let’s take a look again at the THUGS wanton destruction.
