Baltimore removes 4 statues over night
#13
Jesus, how is tearing down statues of Confederates in Baltimore tearing down history? Ffs Maryland was a neutral state in the war, they weren't even part of the Confederacy.

They had slavery abolished in 1864 I believe. They were allowed to keep slavery as the Emancipation Proclamation only effected states in open rebellion, but abolished it on their own terms anyways.

All those statues represented was nothing more than white supremacists back then trying to remind black Americans of where they were in the grand ladder of things.
