Some are complaining about the removal of statues of Confederate officers, but they don’t seem to recognize that these officers were traitors to the United States.
Maybe somebody should replace them with statues similar to the only one erected to another famous traitor. It is a boot erected in 1887 and doesn’t even have Benedict Arnold’s name. Supposedly it was erected based on a story of Arnold asking a Revolutionary prisoner what would be done to Arnold if the Americans caught him. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_Monument for the story.
However, Arnold never was hung and died in London.
