Well, would not northerners be upset if someone tried to erect a monument to confederate soldiers somewhere in the north? Look at how they feel about the Confederate flag or celebrating Lee’s birthday.

Well, there are at least a couple dozen at Gettysburg, PA.

Erected over a period of 1884 to 1982.

Here's a memorial to Confederate dead at the Battle of Westport, in what is now Kansas City. I grew up not far from here.

Since almost all the battles were fought in Confederate states, there isn't a lot of opportunity to erect memorials to CSA dead in the North.

Speaking as a northerner, though presently living in an ex-Confederate state, I would not object to a memorial to brave men who fought and died for their beliefs.

You are aware that there are dozens of monuments to Confederates at Gettysburg aren't you? Plus several former Confederate leaders, military and civilian, are included in Statuary Hall in the Capitol.

You’re not dealing with reasonable people in that bunch

They all have personal vendettas

My great great grandpa raped their octoroon ancestor mammy or flogged their male ancestor

Or killed their ancestor at some battle

Its about something that gnaws at them

But study their posting histories

Most all of them post only on this and race or anti Semitism

And time and again slip up and say lib social crap and get zotted
one of their more insane members recently droned on making vile sport of Christ

Don Meaker

he caught Robinsons attention and got the bolt

After years of said behavior

These few ass clowns here are alls left

They are dwindling
