Destroying the memorial is an implicit suggestion that reconciliation was a mistake. The white South should have been punished more. Given that Revolutionary War heroes, Founding Fathers, Columbus, Theodore Roosevelt, and others are under attack, it takes willful stupidity to believe that the destruction will be limited to the South or that it is about “treason.” Given the current administration’s attempts to frame the January 6 riot as an “insurrection” and ongoing legal efforts to bar former president Donald Trump from running for re-election, it’s hard not to see the monument’s destruction as a threat not only to the South, but to all whites who don’t like our country’s direction...
