“To those unfamiliar with Florida, Miami, West Palm Beach, etc., probably comes to mind, the area this battlefield is located is up next to Georgia. Rebel flags on almost every pickup truck up there.”
“Some have noted that the folks in this part of Florida are even more zealous of things southern than their neighbors in the southern states nearby. It thus comes as no surprise to see the brouhaha about this monument. To those who know this area, we would not expect otherwise.”
When you are right you are right. I’m originally from Jax and the sentiments have not changed much in 150 years. Same goes for GA and a lot of the South. I would not bet on the Union monument going at at Olustee. Might as well call the Japs and ask them if they want to erect a statue to Truman on Hiroshima.
Since Truman was not a Japanese citizen and WW-II was not an internal war in Japan, it's likely your statement is accurate......
