Generic monuments to war dead with names seem to be a better way for people to “remember.”

There were 40,000 war dead from North Carolina commemorated by an obelisk in front of the state capitol building wherein politicians decided to secede and wherein politicians decided to press war and wherein politicians decided to call up the young men of the state to fight.

The politicians and capitol building are still there, but the monument to the dead has been removed, illegally.

And almost none of those 40,000 had any connection to slave-owning.
