I listened to a podcast which was about Britain during the reign of King Charles I and how terrible a king he was. What I don't quite get is why some people continue to commemorate him each year. In your country, is there any historical figure who is still commemorated
despite doing terrible things in their time?
Tons of them, but for today let's go with the prominent Confederates during the Civil War - Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Nathan Bedford Forrest (Mr. Ku Klux Klan himself), Jefferson Davis, etc. They straight up bailed on the Unites States to maintain slavery, and the amount of statues and shit that remains named after them is appalling
