Meh, I have no problem with this. Jefferson Davis led a traitorous movement. You don’t see the “King George III” expressway in Boston.
The only reason its named the Jefferson Davis Highway is because confederate sympathizers who couldn’t accept that they lost the war insisted on it.
Monuments to Generals are one thing. They honorably led their troops on the field of battle. But I’m not sure why Jefferson Davis should be honored with a highway.
Now... bring out your flaming arrows......
You think they are going to stop at Jefferson Davis?
There are many King George Roads in New Jersey (ahem, one of the 13 original colonies) as well as many towns named after English royalty. So, pretty much your argument is nonexistent.
George Washington led a traitorous movement. It was traitorous because the United Kingdom did not recognize a right to independence and so it required perpetual allegiance to the King.
*We* on the other hand founded this nation based on a right to Independence, so seeking independence may have been treasonous to the Brits, but it wasn't treasonous to this nation's founding principle.
I still get a chuckle when I hear "four score and seven years ago...". If you do the math, Lincoln was talking about 1776, when a collection of 13 slave holding states separated from a Union and formed a Confederacy, while having their armies led by a slave holding general from Virginia. :)
Pretty sure George didn’t lead any traitorous movements. Pretty sure that was our guys. Pretty sure there were plenty of monuments for those traitors too.
