Middle Peninsula voters overwhelmingly want to keep their Confederate monuments, according to results of advisory referendums in Mathews and Middlesex counties.
Mathews voters rejected a proposal to relocate the county’s Soldier’s & Sailor’s Monument on its court green at the corner of Court and Church streets by 3,778, or 80% of ballots cast, to 939, or 20%.
In Middlesex, the vote against moving its Civil War Monument from the courthouse grounds in Saluda was 3,229, or 75% of ballots cast, to 1,076.

They ought to put signs in front of every one of them reminding everybody that the Democrat party fought with this battle flag (I believe by the Kentucky militia and another one or two, but not the entire Confederate States):
While the Republicans carried this flag into battle for the Union to free and Christianize the slaves:

"I just wish all the torn down ones were re-erected." In time they will be re-erected. These desecrations were the product of the American Taliban.

It’s straight up Bolshevism, plain and simple. It’s something that happens with every Communist uprising.

That has always been the sentiment. Even amongst people who think the South was completely in the wrong. It is important to keep our history, no matter who it might upset.

That should be on the next ballots in all areas that was forced to take monuments down.
