Disgusting.

Agreed. Our history is what it is. Brave soldiers on both sides deserve remembrance as each was fighting for what they believed to be right.
Exactly.
The statue to Jefferson Davis was erected in 1911.
FIFTY years after the civil war.
Several monuments were erected around that time.
NOT to "honor" slavery, but as a reminder that after about killing ourselves, we were all ONE nation after all. America.
The United States.
No matter what people thought of Lincoln, that was his ultimate goal.
I'd think that Abe himself would find tearing down this monument very offensive.
