Here's the General George Custer monument in Monroe, MI
We Americans idolize some infamous "heroes"
Quote:
After the Civil War, he fought in the Indian Wars in the West. His previous accomplishments in the Civil War, however, were overshadowed by his catastrophic defeat and death at the Battle of the Little Big Horn on June 25, 1876.[6]
To honor him, a $24,000, 14-foot (4.27 m) bronze equestrian statue, sculpted by Edward Clark Potter, was unveiled in Monroe in 1910 by President William Howard Taft and the widowed Elizabeth Bacon Custer.[2] The statue commemorates his successful actions during the Civil War and not his more well-known defeat in 1876.[7]

added How ironic the the current leader of the political party of Abraham Lincoln should call for homage and honoring of racist Confederate States "heroes."
