A Stonewall Jackson monument removed from Charlottesville, VA, in 2017 has been, in the words of a new Los Angeles exhibit’s curator: “butchered” and reassembled as a “monument to the horror of American white supremacy.”

Slavery doesn't require "white supremacy" to function. Most slaves were sold to us by other blacks.

Anyways.. typical CIA plan.. once you remove the "undesirable cultural influences" you must destroy them. This means jailing the opposition party, destroying inspirational artwork, and burning books and ruining the reputations of anyone who read them.

Once that's done you can start destroying the country because no one strong enough to stop you is left around to play.

See Brazil for the best example of this, although, they did try with Trump as well.
