9/17/17. Madison, Wisconsin. Leftist mayor Madison Paul Soglin announced today that he will have the informational monument at the city’s Confederate Rest cemetery removed, the northern-most Confederate cemetery in the country. The cemetery holds the remains of southern soldiers who died while imprisoned at civil war Camp Randall, the current site of the Wisconsin Badger football stadium. The cemetery is respectfully tended and maintained, and services are held with graves decorated on Memorial Day. The plaque to be removed explains the origin of the cemetery and who lies buried there.

Boycott time...

[Hattie]

somebody sue them that has a soldier buried there.

[PSUGOP]

Complete loons. History is important, even if uncomfortable.

[livius]

Are they going to dig up the bodies too?

[Trump20162020]

the informational monument

That is really insane. The Mayor is a complete moron.

[myerson]

Sorry. The date is 8/17/17 and it’s “Madison mayor Paul Soglin”.

[Sgt_Schultze]

They need to change the name of the city from Madison to Trotsky.

[DoodleDawg]

Idiocy

[Bonemaker]

“Complete loons. History is important, even if uncomfortable”

Worse than ISIS.

[Kickass Conservative]

The Confederate Soldiers were Murdered by the Yankees running the Prison Camp.

I guess the Mayor believes they deserved it. He advocates the Murder of unarmed Prisoners. I guess he would have executed all the German and Japanese POW’s we held.

[wally_bert]

Planet Madison alright.

[IWontSubmit]

Are they going to dig up the bodies too?...
Yes. Already started.

[silverleaf]

What - a veterans cemetery???
A cemetery with a historical plaque???
What???
Next the gravestones and then the bodies?

[silverleaf]

Should be sued by VA
These men were declared veterans by act of congress

[livius]

Have they really begun to remove bodies? I ask because we have an important historic cemetery here in Florida that has Confederate burials, along with VA markers that have the symbol of the Confederate Army on them.

[Leaning Right]

Really? Now they are removing informational plaques? I suppose Confederate gravestones will be next, then this (not kidding):

[Timpanagos1]

Their army could repatriate their bodies to locations that are within their own country and closer to their homes.

[Slyfox]

I have Confederate and Union soldiers in my family tree. I have two g-g-g-uncles who fought for the south at Vicksburg. They fought together in the very same battle opposing none other than U.S. Grant himself. Grant wrote later that this particular regiment he fought in his battle at Vicksburg "were the bravest young men I had ever faced."

They were buried in a big pile of dead soldiers - because there were so many and there is no headstone for them save a monument recognizing their collective effort.

It is very sad that these people protesting have no idea the pain the families felt when their sons did not come home.

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.
