What’s a “Silent Sam”?

A statue of a Confederate soldier that stood on the campus of UNC. According to Wikipedia it's 'silent' because it doesn't have a cartridge box and therefore could not fire its rifle.

Ironically, the statue was created by a Canadian and the model was from Boston.

A statue/monument put up on the campus of the Univ. of N.Carolina dedicated to ALL of the UNC alumni who died in the War Between the States. It is a monument to the Alumni who died.... many of whom.... MANY of whom were in the Union Army.

This is public insanity, instigated by the revcom... the revolutionary communist party (further left than CPUSA), that has a branch and newspaper in Chapel Hill, the university town in Orange County, NC. (Orange, named for William of Orange, btw— think of that significance in US colonial history).
