The Confederate States of America, or CSA rebellion government that seceded from the USA to preserve and expand slavery. Before the election of Abraham Lincoln a collection of southern US states became fearful of the growing abolition movement and upon the election of Lincoln to the presidency, chose to break away from the US to form their own government, dedicated to preserving and expanding the institution of slavery. After 4 long years of bloody battle however, they were soundly defeated and soon reintegrated into the US. Even with that defeat however, the veterans of the Confederacy successfully painted the CSA in a brighter light, creating the “Lost Cause” myth. Today the Confederate States are seen in a much harsher light and the major controversy of the statues that the veterans put up is still being fought in the streets of the deep south today.

Get the Anti-contender mug.Related Words
A Confederate statue is no more a threat to public safety than a statue of a Civil Rights leader. The statue was never the threat, it's the ppl eople that gather around the statue, no matter their shade of skin, that are a threat to each other. The statues are fine the way they are, they were after all, built by humans.
It's not everybody's problem when someone is offended by a Confederate statue, just like it's not everybody's problem when someone is offended by a statue of a Civil Rights leader. Both kinds of statues should be left alone, if anything people are more of a threat to the statues than the statues are to people.
