I usually do not post political issues and major difficult issues but I saw this video last weekend and think it gives a very good explanation and both sides of the removal of confederate monuments around the country. As you all probably know the only one in Massachusetts was located on Georges Island to confederate prisoners who had died, and there are many differediffering opinions about this. This video is a little long but I think it is very clear and deals with the subject well.

As debate over the takedown of Confederate monuments continues, 60 Minutes examines why and when the statues went up in the first place. Anderson Cooper reports.
