Jean Pond, born after the Civil War ended. A talented sculpture and suffragette. Original statue inside the Capital, the bronze casting they're toppling dates to the late 1960s, paid for by women's groups in the state. Nothing to d with slavery. Nothing to do with the Confederacy. A lot to do with the woman's movement who I'm sure will condemn the action. And erasing American culture.
Maybe I'm wrong. Hans Christian Heg, a Civil War General and local politician. Now we're getting somewhere. Except he was a Free Soil Party politician. Abolitionists who later merged into the Republican Party. And a Union Gereral, that's odd. As a Colonel I believe he commanded the 15th Wisconsin Volunteers, the Scandinavian Regiment. Mostly Norwegan, they were probably pretty white, maybe that's the problem. Mortally wounded at Chickamauga, Fighting the they people like Gen. Bragg who get their statues toppled and bases renamed.
All very confusing. I conclude this has nothing to do with slavery and the Confederacy, everything to do with motivating another insurrection.
