They're Lying about Confederate Monuments

It goes something like this: "The purpose of Confederate monuments was to support Jim Crow and white supremacy and to intimidate black people."

I looked at over thirty articles about these monuments in African-American newspapers (late 1800s/early 1900s). How many did I find that said anything like this or even implied it? Not one. Not a single one.
