I'm going to balance a statue of Benedict Arnold in our town with one of George Washington. Lol.

That is actually a great response. I seriously doubt anyone would actually erect a statue of Benedict Arnold, but the same cannot be said for any Confederate General. Why is it ok to erect a statue of one traitor but not another? What is the difference between the two?

One of them was a traitor who violated his oath of Loyalty to the United States, the other was a Lawyer, tough call
