The Monument Debate

The debate over historical monuments in the United States has reached a fever pitch. Three different interpretations of American history compete to see which monuments stay up and which ones don't. Jon explains the working issues in the debate and why he comes down on the side of keeping all the current targeted monuments by Black Lives Matter. Jon also reveals why he thinks Republicans have made a bad tactical mistake by engaging in identity politics concerning Confederate Monuments. www.worldviewconversation.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/worldviewconversation Subscribe: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/conversations-that-matter/id1446645865?mt=2&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 Like Us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/worldviewconversation/ Follow Us on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/conversationsthatmatterpodcast Follow Jon on Parler: https://parler.com/profile/JonHarris/posts Follow Jon on Twitter https://twitter.com/worldviewconvos Follow Us on Gab: https://gab.ai/worldiewconversation Subscribe on Minds https://www.minds.com/worldviewconversation More Ways to Listen: https://anchor.fm/worldviewconversation Mentioned in this Podcast:  Jon Harris: When Historians Lie  http://www.worldviewconversation.com/2018/03/when-historians-lie.html Aaron Wolfe: "Awake for the Living: Lee and the Feeling of Loyalty"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olx6lCiQPwQ&feature=emb_title Ernest Blevins: The Real Reason for “Civil War” Monuments https://www.abbevilleinstitute.org/blog/the-real-reason-for-civil-war-monuments/ Philip Leigh: Don't Remove Confederate Monuments https://www.abbevilleinstitute.org/blog/dont-remove-confederate-monuments/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/worldviewconversation/support Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
