It's not a question of statues still standing, it's a question of DNA and indoctrination. You can tear down all the statues but the indoctrinated people would still think and act the way they ancestros did. Germany, Hungary, France and others are a ready to repeat their history.....well ,Hungary is already there.

Ricardo, you might find this information from Nationhood Lab, part of the Pell Center of Salve Regina University of interest. I’ve posted it here a few times, but never know who sees it, so will post again: https://nationhoodlab.org/a-balkanized-federation/

This was an interesting read that resonated with me. A few years ago, I spent seven months at a relative's house in South Carolina, recovering from a long illness. New Jersey born and bred, I felt as if I was living in an alien land. I felt more at home in Europe. (I am now living in New Jersey again.)

Thanks again Barbara. I just read it and kind of confirmed my assumption. Incredibly, despite the multiple generations and overtime, the influx of other cultures, overall, the original mentality, motivations and objectives is some how preserved nowadays.

WOW! Thanks Barbara! Fascinating, And sad. Explains alot. We have lived all over the U.S.A. and this reflects what I saw (icluding Appalachia which J.D. got so wrong). My Ojibwe husband just received a sizeable check, his portion from his First Nation tribe's settlement with the Canadian government. Too late for his mother, but passed on to our children.
