civil-war-monuments

In our humble12 opinion, the South in general__ attitude regarding the war and everything that came after needs a major paradigm shift. Put simply: we need to be more like Germany. Ya see, after World War II, Germany as a nation took responsibility for its crimes, owned up to them, and has refused to make excuses for the atrocities that occurred. Germans own it. That__ just the way it is. (Or at least the perception of the way it is, and as we keep reiterating, the perception can be just as important as the reality.) How many people in the South could stomach the idea of Nazi statues existing in Germany in order to __onor the past_ but __ot meant to offend the Jews, of course?_ Because y__ll do realize that__ what most of these Civil War monuments are, right?
