Leaders across the country have removed or accelerated plans to remove statues to the Confederacy in the wake of violence and death at a white nationalists rally in Charlottesville. What do you think should happen in Richmond?
Remove them and put them in museums
Keep them and add context
Nothing. They're fine as is
Remove them

Thanks! This descendant of a Confederate cavalry officer (who did not believe in slavery but took up arms because his country had been invaded) has now voted.
Just Voted.
Looks to be in the lead at 7000.
We need more of them, not less. We should remember and respect our history.
I have Ani Yun Wiya (Cherokee) heritage...
The name of your state offends me...Change it....
You probably know the Cherokee Nation sided with the Confederacy and fought against the North.
Of course...Stand Watie was a Confederate General...
We should remember and respect our history.
....the libs respect nothing,screw up everything and blame others...
I think they should be fully restored, left where they are, and an armed honor guard placed around them 24/7.
Another vote for “Nothing, they’re fine as is”.
What the majority wants will have no impact I’m afraid. These statues tend to be in large population centers and the virtue signaling Rat a-holes tend to run them so there you go.
I think they should be given to the LGBTQQIP2SAA community.
....They’re not gonna like the results thus far....
They don’t give a damn about the results. There’s a political agenda at work that is manipulating people and erasing history. Democrats are getting a victory and they will be pushing this as far as they can.
Until his recent retirement, the director of the Jefferson Davis Monument (at his birthplace in Kentucky) was a black man, a former Marine and Berkeley grad, who was a great admirer of Jefferson Davis...and proud of his own (white) ancestor who had been a Confederate officer.
Put a couple of snipers on Monument Ave to protect them.
I’ve got 5 acres and would be happy to have a few delivered!
It’s not crazy. It’s a deliberate attempt by the OBAMA Shadow government to destroy our culture, history and self identity. It’s an Alinskyite tactic.
They will be coming for the Stand Watie memorial in Tahlequah and removing the Stand Watie Memorial Highway 59 signs next. May need to place guards over the Polson Cemetery between Jay, Grove Oklahoma and Southwest City MO.
Call the street an Outdoor Walking Museum tour and leave them alone.
I really don’t care about the statues, I just get tired of the crybaby progressives and their continual whining, so I don’t want them to win anything...ever.
I love Monticello. That would be sad.
Yes, no quarter.
I have it on good authority that there is at least one Black Confederate on the monument with multiple soldiers. Do the Dems want to deface and lynch his statue now, too?
