Places with more Confederate monuments tend to also have a history of more lynchings, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Virginia.
Published by the National Academy of Sciences, the study analyzed county-level lynching data involving Black people from 1832 to 1950. The data showed that the number of lynchings in an area was associated with a higher likelihood that the same area would have Confederate monuments.
“This is not a surprising finding,” said University of Virginia researcher and psychologist Kyshia Henderson, who led the study. “The prediction was always that lynching and memorials would be connected. We made this prediction because we knew the history of lynchings and memorials. Also, scholars and activists have long said that Confederate memorials are associated with hate. We want to provide empirical evidence of that.”
Lynchings, which were used to punish Black Americans primarily through the eras of slavery and Jim Crow, were used as an indicator in the study because they are recognizable forms of violence used to suppress and intimidate Black people.
The research also cited a study that analyzed 30 dedication speeches for Confederate monuments and found that half of them used explicitly racist phrases. Some even mentioned protecting the Anglo-Saxon race.
“For communities grappling with Confederate memorials and what to do with them, this work provides some guidance,” Henderson said.

Dems not understanding cause and effect. So what’s new?
After years of morons and anarchist and Commie bastages rioting and looting I’m not really prone to care.
People do not inherit either suffering or guilt as if they were commodities.
And folks who have time to feel oppressed by inanimate objects or place names are not oppressed at all, not even one jot.
Chicago and the drug business is linked to a lot more Black deaths.
I wonder how many of these are still standing:
If Democrats seeking the removal of historical memorials tied to racist history are serious, they should be tripping over one another to get in front of a camera and call for the removal of memorials and namesakes to Presidents Andrew Johnson, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Lyndon Baines Johnson, and Sen. Robert C Byrd.

Confederate Monuments are in areas that were Confederate?
Knock me down with a feather, I thought they'd all be in Massachusetts.
Cicadas are probably correlated as well. Exterminate!
Lenin is almost certainly still up in Seattle.
Places with Martin Luther King Boulevards tend to have more crime and welfare recipients.
“Blacks were lynched by democrats - not monuments.”
What is the connection between the number of murders - then and now - and the number of Democrats?
Is there a cause and effect linking the high number of murders, for example, in Chicago today and the high number of Democrats?
If so, what is to be done?
I have never seen a monument lynch anyone.....
...but I have seen Democrats on TV ‘high tech lynch’ Justice Clarence Thomas
Wow! What a discovery! I wonder if they realize cemeteries have more dead people in them per acre than football fields?
I wonder what association might be found between streets named for Martin Luther King and crime rates? Asking for a friend.
I think that their are studies that say lynchings take place when people eat at Taco Bell.... Probably if you connect the dots...
1950 is 71 years ago.
How many have been lynched lately?
They keep talking about history as if it is still happening.
True.
OK, now do George Floyd statues.
