Coming up, the debate over americas confederate monuments. We talk to people on both sides of the growing issue. Anything at the end of a long day, its the last thing i want to do.

So, it prevents streaks and haze better than my old mop. Plus, its safe to use on all my floors, even wood. Glad i got that off my chest and the day off my floor. Try wet jet with a moneyback guarantee across the country the debate is growing over the removal of confederate monuments. There are roughly 780 confederate monuments in public spaces across the u. S. But across the south, emotions are raw on both sides about how to handle them. Heres abcs will carr. Reporter across the south, many confederate monuments were erected first during the jim crow era, then when the kkk flourished. Critics say they were meant to intimidate. Supporters believe they were built to remember. I do believe that those monuments were put up in good faith by people who wanted to honor what they perceived to be the sacrifice of their own flesh and blood. Reporter chris roberts, like many others in the south, isnt shy about his confederate pride. Hes holding the state flag of mississippi, the only state flag in the United States that still incorporates the confederate battle flag. I still think that this should be our state flag. I dont think it should be offensive. Reporter the gulfport city leaders and some residents disagree. That flag is recognized as hatred and racism, and it needs to be taken down, put in a museum, like a lot of other older artifacts. Reporter on tuesday the Gulfport City Council voted to take down the mississippi flag and replace it with a neutral magnolia flag. It sounds like you have your beliefs but you also have an open mind and are willing to have a conversation. I realize that yes, and i part of the conversation is that we would like the true history of the south, and frankly of the confederacy, to be known and to be explored. Reporter supporters like him believe the legacy of the confederacy is being turned into one based on hate and racism, even though the facts are clear that the confederacy fought in large part to keep slavery. If we cant agree, at some point in the democratic process, if were going to change things, lets do it, but do it in an orderly fashion, we can do it without mob violence, we can do it without disrespecting one another. Reporter Avery Sullivan says hes fine with the monument. It is just a part of our history, so it really doesnt bother me that much, you know. Its not about that, its about the people. Reporter its a debate striking cities across the country. In mobile, alabama, city leaders ignored state law when they decided to take down a statue of a confederate naval officer, sparking anger from the members of the sons of confederate veterans, a nonprofit made up of descendents of confederate soldiers, including arnold, a veteran himself, who didnt want to give his last name. If you would speak to veterans of different wars, not that they would have the same political or social views or opinions, but most of us, i do believe im not speaking for anyone but myself but i believe most of us respect the dignity and honor of the other servers. When you hear people say the civil war is linked to hate, linked to slavery, linked to oppression, you think what . Well, there wasnt a civil war. The war between the states is two democratic republics. One primarily industrial in its economic interests, one primarily agrarian in its economic interests. When you hear people say thats linked to hate why is the soil and the climate linked to hate . The Northern Union practiced slavery throughout the war. I understand the problems with glorifying the civil war. I dont want to do that. But its part of our history. I think it should be recognized along with other parts of our history and make it even more of an attraction for people. Lets look at that history, right . Its ugly. Its very ugly. Its state violence. Its intimidation. Its denial of political power to people across race. Reporter now some are taking history into their own hands. Remember that bust of John Mcdonough that sank to the bottom of the mississippi . That statue was later fished out by a separate group of white men with God Bless America playing in the background. Its unclear where the statue is. Our thanks to will. Im from the deep south, so ill spare you giving my opinion or thoughts on this. Ill give you the facts. Just yesterday people commemorated, five years ago, a gunman walked into a Charleston Church in a fuelraged racist hate and killed nine people. And within the days following, the Confederate Flag was taken off the state grounds in South Carolina and its currently in a museum.

Reporter the Prosecutor Says theres a lot more to the story, that brooks was 18 feet away when the first shot was fired, that the taser brooks wrestled away had fired all its rounds, and that rolfe yelled i got him after firing the deadly shots.
