You tube cant show dislike numbers it doesn’t fit their agenda
Because seeing that .001% of the people who watch the video disliked it, and that not even .0000001% of the country watched the video, and that .00000000000001% of the world watched this video is all exceptionally useful information? 🤣
@@korymulanax3362 it is for video perception… have you never heard that high ratings can encourage others to rate highly?
Between the crybabies crying over dislikes saying their feelings are hurt and the little kids who can't stand the fact that not everyone likes the same thing so they point out and attack the amount of dislikes by saying things like x amount of unamericans disapprove are the reason why YT has removed the dislikes. Spoiled useless little brats had to ruin something harmless. Infact something useful because that function regardless of comments being active or not was a big help to some UA-camrs. They could compare their contents by the likes and dislikes to further help them understand what works and revolve their videos around that.

What is the expiration date on a bottle of water for? Seems like the same thing. I think historians have to always assign some sort of identity to these things. They cannot objectively look at and realize that this was just a snapshot of what was happening at the time. This is just what the monument makers thought was interesting at the time and not an attempt to erase history like the removal of statues. In fact it preserved a bit of history. We need to stop removing things by which we are offended. These statues are not a celebration of things that offend but they are a reminder of what happened. So we don't do these things again.
Has removing the statue fixed any perceived racism? Asking for a friend.
Not with that attitude

The real question is what are people thinking today to remove a statue of history! The good, bad, and the ugly parts of history need to be taught and remembered, not wiped out and forgotten, or repeated.
You don't need a monument, especially one glorifying a traitor and a proponent of racism to teach history. This monument has been used to cover up the truth and to teach that it's ok to be racist. Enough all ready.
@Russian Bot If your going to make a comment, at least learn American history
Amazing it seems like they care about history, yet the reason they found it is because of there disregard for it...

Statues are overrated anyways its a way to praise them only person to praise is God
@@coryvallad7578 sorry but wrong again. Actually this statue was placed there by a Republican 20 years after civil war to show that everyone regardless of there political views in the war was an equal now. But yeah w/e. Same people that buried both north and south dead in graveyards side by side for same reason. No big deal like you said.
Lee integrated his forces, whilst the Union forces were segregated.
His was a statue that should have been saved
Yea integrated forces of totally free men fighting to preserve slavery. Sure. Miss me with that bs.
Would have been a big mistake arming and organizing battalions of all black soldiers in the south, don’t you think?
One of the last Confederate generals to surrender was a Native American general named Stand Waytie. Richmond has a Cemetery full of Jewish Confederates and there were actual black soldiers in the Confederate army but to my knowledge they never fought in a battle.
@@treybaldwin8877 then why did Lee only hire free men to work his plantation? Why did he offer them freedom to fight? Why do you believe the civil war was fought about slavery?
He led a confederate army who fought for the right to OWN HUMAN BEINGS IN ORDER FOR THE ECONOMY OF THR SOUTH TO FLOURISH.
You’re a clown.
There’s probably some kind of symbolism behind the message being delivered here.
"When the truth is buried deep beneath a thousand years of sleep, time demands a turnaround and once again the truth is found"~George Harrison
That would be awesome!!
I got a weird vibe or two, the words "the lost cause" does that
This seems kind of underwhelming to me. I expected more somehow. The meaning of symbolic items change with the times, like the meaning of the statues themselves. Sometimes you have to actually say what you mean, tell us what's important to you.
@@MHO999999 different times, different perspectives and expressions.
It’s amazing how people think if you hide it or destroy it, it never happened. There is no sense in learning from it. We are re-writing history because we are so offended, and our children will have no known heritage and won’t care to defend it. RIP America. I loved you very much.
No one thinks that. You can't really be this dim.
I don't look at it that way. They are not "hiding or destroying" the statue, they are removing it from prominence because to many, it represents a past that we as a nation have come to recognize as racist to many Americans. I would never want this or any other statue destroyed or forgotten: rather, there are important lessons they teach us even today.
What?!?!?! Time capsules are intended to provide future generations with a glimpse of life years ago. It's a complete 180 of denying anything. The point is to say...we were here...this happened. Geez...
@@darknightofthesoul7628 I agree, destroying these statues isn’t something they should do but rather I believe they should be moved to museums or historic battlefields. It’s important for us to know the history. I understand both sides. For example lee was was one of the most genius generals in American history but at the same time he was a white supremacist, fought for something morally ill and I can see how that would hurt those who have had past family members in bondage.

If you think Lee stood for slavery then you should do some research on the man, you'll come away with a much different opinion of him.
If you think a man who helped fight a war solely to maintain slavery didn't stand for slavery you are an idiot.
@Drick Yup, he fought along with all the other Democrats who wanted to keep their slaves. They later fought against giving them the right to vote, calling them equal, heck according to Joe Biden they're still living in dirt floor huts, don't know what the internet is or how to use it, & it's virtually impossible for them to have a smartphone or get an ID. Democrats perception of blacks hasn't changed much since then.

@@johnsnow5955 the Civil War was about more than the issue of slavery itself albeit that was the driving force.
Historian here. Lee was an amazing general one of the best in American history. Although he believed slavery to be morally ill, he was a big white supremacist. He did a few slaves and would eventually inherit around 200. He did not believe that black Americans should the have rights that whites did. I can see why he stands a symbol of pain to many especially those who are descended from those who were in bondage. I don’t think that statue should be destroyed but rather sent to a museum, historic battlefield, or if it’s in Virginia then the house of Lee.

I don’t believe these statues should be destroyed but rather relocated to a museum, historic battlefield, or in this case Lee’s home in Virginia. I can see why many of these statues of confederate generals are a symbol of pain for those who descended from people living in bondage and I get it. But destroying the statues is wrong as it is a part of history that can never be recreated. Moving them to historical sites is the best option.
Symbol of pain for who? There are no living anybody who was in the Civil War anymore… There's less than a handful of people who are within two generations of somebody who was alive during the Civil War… Appeasing people who are ashamed of where they come from and a racing history is going to do much to repeat it…General Lee was a general long before the Civil War and a contributor to America long before the Civil War… Do not let a persons lifetime of good deeds be undone by one. He was punished his estate was taken from him and made into Arlington cemetery; he was punished now for all the liberals who believe in rehabilitation that should've been enough

What is happening here is a sacrilege. His statue should never have been removed. You cannot erase history. Shame.
It should never have been erected in the first place. Look it up. He knew they would only spring resentment which is exactly what they've done.
He knew Southerners were not people of integrity and honor. Yeah that's a broad stroke but the south has been America's weakest link since the beginning. Cut to today's republican party and it's the Southern politicians that are selling their base the lie that democrats are stealing elections, even after their own people conduct audits where they found nothing of the sort.
In short, the south is why we can't have nice things.

I guess my question is ok the statue was torn down, Now what was the outcome how has it significantly changed the lives of people that wanted it taken down , it's gone for ever the statue that is not what was done, It can never be undone and nothing has changed especially history,
Sure didn't change hate. Those that hate love the division. It is just a few evil people, not the majority. Most are busy living their own lives the best they can and really don't care what race their neighbors are. They are more concerned if they are good citizens and good to their families.
Nothing can change the outcome of the past. But doesn't mean you need a constant reminder of it. Why can't we have statues of those who sacrificed themselves for a cause to end the division for love and peace? Those who fought and died for true justice and freedom for all. Not just for people who like you. Or people of all colors who made huge discoveries and changed history?
How has a statue of a traitor and defender of slavery… being removed significantly changed your life?
What it has done for the people who wanted it taken down, as well as the people who did not, gives America peace to know that we do not negotiate with terrorists and we do not honor individuals who capitalize on the lives of others. We fled and revolutionized freedom from the corruption of a king took from everyone for wealth and riches and was able to do this because of tyranny. That is not a historical figure from a great war and a great military or a great leader. Such a small population of the country the 5% of the South needed to remember what their right to engage in a capitalist venture in the name of building American Gold means. To this day you are not allowed to capitalize on the lives of other human beings and this includes slavery and apartheid. We will not purchase things manufactured by slaves and we certainly aren't supposed to be engaging that behavior on a scale that is infamous. And we need to remember no matter where we're from what our roots are it was one of the greatest times in American history because we put our money where our mouth was and we prevailed. Nobody ever discusses what would have happened if the Confederate States of America were able to succeed with a plagiarized US Constitution with such a small population. the allies of America that were very important for the strength and the partnership and the growth and the becoming would not have tolerated it because they were running from the same thing. We would have been very weak. we would have assumed that our trade overseas would buy us our spot. And we would have been dead wrong. We no longer should deitize Southern terrorists malicious then we should digitize Adolf Hitler or Saddam Hussein. You tear that down and you write them out of History because if you can't be famous, infamy is preferred by the likes of that mindset. An Americans need to understand that there were so many reasons that we couldn't enslave people anymore in order to be a part of a global community and freeing the slaves was just one part of why the civil war took place. Why it really took place is you don't get to have all the golden America with no overhead and doing nothing for the common good or growth. they're ridiculous notions of not bridging Rivers for West access and so many more issues made them small-minded and they preferred to keep their America within a very small area of what is now considered the United States. Now I am a white woman in her mid fifties and regardless of how I feel about all of the horrific history of the civil war. It just doesn't represent freeing blacks and Asians and Irishmen and whoever were enslaved it means that after the revolution in a country not even 100 years strong was still able to overcome. We fought for our freedom and we earned it and we will continue to do this. And by the way we do not combine church and state for the simple reason of the many thousands of Christian and other faiths in this country. A church divided is not a church which means whoever your morals guide you or what religion you practice or if you don't practice religion at all it has no business dictating the morality of slavery and war.
Since they want to take statues down claiming racism as the reason then we actual no racist America loving Americans need to tear down any and all BLM statues and that fentanyl Floyd statue.

I have studied American history. Have found that history has been changed many times. Seems school's change the true history to suit the children as to not scare them about history. But because of this we have lost the real history and it shows today. The internet is our friend for leaning but one can not just take the first site, so one has to study to learn the true history. Example do you really believe the story of Hudson? That he and his friend just rolled away in a boat, never to be seen again? Like I said study and you will find the answers.
its more about pushing a narrative than scaring kids. the winners generally write history and claim that the losers were fighting for an unjust cause. this is why the common belief is that the confederates were solely fighting to maintain african slavery etc. its more likely the north's reason for abolishing slavery was to create more allies, and the south considered slavery among the many freedom of property rights that were under threat. what i read was that "subsistence farming" was completely abolished after the civil war. so the south was fighting for the freedom to live off the land without paying taxes for services that don't even effect them. america was originally a place where a commoner could come and not be subjected to any lords and mind their own business

Freedom has ALWAYS been the first and foremost expectation of all men .The fact that you think of slavery as the main objection of the south leads me to think you're the racist !
@@YourMom-vl2sp
Racist Democrats lost.
@@289cobra9 that's a dumb argument. O fan of democrats or republicans, but the two parties have ideologically switched over the past 150 years. Democrats of old share more in common with to days republicans that today's democrats. And isn't that what truly matters? Today's ideology. Democrats in present time fight against racism, for freedom, and for equality. Republicans fight for facism.
they tore down the statue because it was evil, but kept the artifacts because they have value, they are all bottom-feeders . Lee's statue should be there today, trying to forget the past will not help you navigate the future you will find out....
They weren’t smart enough to at least stuff the capsule with peppermint oil and charcoal?
Or wax? Or honey?
@@fern7306 wax wouldn't last
The Humans that allowed removal of the statue are not worthy of viewing the contents.
Did the Wokies burn the books yet?
No silly, that’s what conservatives do

@@mrbarahona78 If you haven't noticed the Wokies are actively destroying history. It's in the Video itself if you pay attention....
And all it took was people crying about a statue in order to be found
They knew this day would come so they buried a time capsule
You obviously didn't watch the news story as this was discussed.
And 130 years from now, we will be old timey history. We will be just as primitive.
No matter how hard people try to erase racism it's here to stay you just learn to live with it some people will make money off racism just ask the woman who started BLM
This is rediculous removing a statue is uncalled for but finding a time capsule is news
A statue is racist now what a time to be alive
Why remove the statue calling it “raciest” but we still use George Washington on money? Who owned almost 300 slaves in the day he died!! We still have our Robert E. Lee Statue & Rebel flag in front of our courthouse in my town! We also have a Dixie MEGA-FLAG 100”x75” flying at the south end of town! Gotta love Double Springs Alabama!❤ I guarantee THAT flag and statue will BOTH be taken down! Y’all look it up! Winston county Alabama!
Release the books
Worst. Time. Capsule. Ever.
I imagined the comic book guy saying that 😂🤣
Why not keep the statue and make it a tribute to his service in the Mexicans American war.
All these stupid remarks just shows that there is more stupidity and ignorance in this world, than prejudice.
Lee is a great general period god bless
The governor, mayor or anyone else who wanted this statue removed, should not be allowed to put their hands or eyes on any part of the capsule.
All jokes and prejudice aside this is a amazing find
There were library records documenting what was in there. People knew it was there.
@@bmxfreakxyo O, cool! So spill the beans. State all whats in there? Dish out the goods. Why bother wait for what anyone has to say? Saying some junk in the damn ground, without specifically saying in detail what that is or what’s written is different.

@@jashuasmith9361 did you even watch the video?
@@bmxfreakxyo News article that period said a picture & civil war artifacts which can be many things. A book holds allot of info to learn from & would be different than an object like a shoe or a hat.Sounds like you dont know whats in the book. Probably afraid what you might hear.
Why are you guys in the US erasing your history?
Shame statue was removed.
It's just democrats trying to erase their history lolbvs.
@@pk7ghalm23 @Nicky Krystals that's why it's not Democrats today but instead it's republicans in the modern day defending and supporting the confederacy,. From republicans defending the Nathan Bedford Forrest to a republican governor declaring confederate heritage to Donald trump supporters carrying confederate flags as they attacked the capital building. Try again.
@@naitthegr8131 All of the confederates were all democrats. That's why your president Joe Biden voted to keep segregation in schools.
@@pk7ghalm23 and again, that's why their *descendants and supporters/defenders in the modern day* are republicans. Try again.
@@naitthegr8131 You spelled democrats wrong you bot 🤣
I thought that was a piece of toast with butter on it.
So wrong
That’s sad that they took the statue down. It’s our history. So let’s just go ahead and erase it right?
How is history being erased
"There goes ah Robert E. Lee"
Too funny considering he lost. ?
@@johnbarrett7737 Who cares. Everyone loses in life. I wish the captured Washington DC would be a better America
@@Aqua.man045 You sound like a traitor.
For the record, Robert E. Lee spoke out against building monuments to that war. He believed that such tributes would only keep open the nation's wounds.
true. More reason to get rid of the monuments of neo confederates and Lost Causers
Man that is some good books!!! Hope they don’t burn any pages or evidence of some crazy proof of some crazy truth!!! They do that to withhold information from the public!
You know dang well they will
Yah that's what conservatives do.
Tear down our history... only to find more. I hope society will learn.
The disrespect is off the charts. Death awaits those that abolish history n try to rewrite it.
Lol what?
Uh, death awaits us all.
An almanac and a coin, oh boy. Might as well have done a report on what someone found in a yard sale.
21 dislikes as of 12/23/2021 9:41 am Central Time US, keep it going to restore dislikes to UA-cam and show them big tech doesn't own us!
Bruh there are people still alive that can tell you about what their parents thought. What do you mean “this will shed a light on how people were thinking”?
I think it’s so dumb to remove history, good or bad…it’s so stupid.
That's what libraries are for. We don't need statues or monuments glorifying these kinds of people.
@@ratpatooti5080 I missed something, who has libraries?
Right, of COURSE I can see the connection between a statue of Lee and alleged police brutality. SMFH over the stupidity.
They could have used candle wax to waterproof the box.
No, they couldn't. The wax would have decayed less than a year when exposed to moisture, they knew that.
Or they could have just gave that box to a museum in the first place.
What a disgrace. When will this nonsense stop. God Bless America
Woo hoo racism has been defeated
Destroying history one statue at a time.
