Abraham Lincoln was a hero who was assassinated for his beliefs. He is the man who united the states and freed the slaves. He is a historical icon. Democrats want him gone.
Boston wants to purge him from the city.
THE STORY
Boston Mayor Marty Walsh (D) has come out in favor of removing a statue of Abraham Lincoln that has stood in the city for more than a century. However, he is opposed to renaming Faneuil Hall, which is named for a slave owner and is on the site of a slave market.
Anti-American activists, Democrats, are trying to have a statue of Abraham Lincoln removed from Park Square. After nearly 150 years, they find the depiction of an emancipated slave in the sculpture to be offensive.
The statue has stood there since 1879 and is a replica of an original statue built with funds contributed by freed slaves.
This is our history and Boston is the heart of another war – the war for freedom from the British.
Destroying our history in Boston is a very big win for these Democrats destroying our founding.
Will no one fight for the USA? Democrats still want slavery. Now they want all of us on the globalist plantation.
Democrats aren’t hurt by the depiction of the slave, as they claim. It was funded by former slaves and they wanted the message out. The statue has an important message about how slaves were treated. Democrats merely want to erase our history and rewrite it with their far-left ‘heroes.’

We intended on seeing Boston this summer. We are history buffs so Boston was a place we always wanted to visit. No longer. I won’t go near the state!
Will Boston remove the statue honoring MLK?
No because BLM
Both Lincoln and MLK believed that black lives mattered. Why remove one statue and not the other?
The Boston mayor will not have to worry about associating with Abraham Lincoln after the mayor dies, as Lincoln is in Heaven.
As a Southerner, I agree with the mayor. Not for the same reasons, though, but… whatever it takes.
Sad.
THE DEMON-CRATS STAND FOR THE COMMUNIST PARTY….. EVERY COMMUNIST ORGANIZATION HAS DONE THE SAME THING IN EVERY COUNTRY ATTACKED BY THE COMMUNISTS.. GET RID OF THEIR HISTORY AND REWRITE IT…
Apparently the people of Boston don’t give a dam*. Where are the decent people? We are allowing terrorists to erase our heritage without even a whimper. Land of the free and home of the brave has been erased. Cancel the 4th of July permanrntly; we don’t deserve it.
The democrat party is absolutely today’s communist party. Wake up America before it’s too late !
