How many monuments are there for confederates? How do we know that the main purpose of the civil war was the confederacy’s fight for slavery? Cite all the evidence in the video. What did the Vice President of Confederacy, Alexander Stevens, say was the main purpose—the "cornerstone"—of the Confederacy? Be precise. Is Steven’s quote clear as to for what the Confederacy was fighting? Did the Confederacy actually believe in states’ rights? What does it say that the statues mostly went up MANY years after the Civil War; it appears they were put up to keep people of color oppressed. What was the KKK’s role in these new statues? What was Robert E Lee’s opinion on war monuments and should we listen to him? Is it strange for the U.S. to honor TRAITORS who should be convicted of TREASON? We do not have statues to Benedict Arnold, because he was traitor, even though he fought bravely? What is Oliver’s basic argument?
