Keeping in mind your respective course (HIST 1301 and/or HIST 1302), should statues of historical figures be removed if they were insensitive to a particular group in a given time period? Why/why not? Explain your reasoning.

Absolutely not. They are important historical artifacts and represent important events. Although some of these events were not morally correct we can use it as a reminder to not repeat the past. Some of these statues are 100’s of years old. Almost no other countries destroy their historical statues due to “sensitivity”. Also keep in mind that erasing these statues would be equivalent to erasing our history and not giving any recognition to those groups of people that suffered.

The answer is c. hope that
