First Article:
To start off certain monuments can offend people and people will take it a certain way. So instead of making the situation worst it will be best to not create more  conflict. Where in this case a monument that really offended people was a statue of Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville, Virginia. The main point of this article is that people feel some time of way towards this monument. In fact since it’s a confederate statue people knew that, that meant white supremacy. With what happen in 2015 where a man name Dylann Roff who was a white supremacist decided to go in a church and shoot 9 black people. Which created more conflict and for a lot of people even the Mayor. In the article German Lopez wrote it states “The Confederacy fought to maintain slavery and white supremacy in the United States, and that isn’t something that the country should honor or commemorate in any way.” With this being said people as of today still question ever confederate statue and decide whether or not it should be there anymore.
