Remember all those concrete or stone statues of Civil War soldiers in the small towns squares in the south? Well, it won’t be long now. All those monuments on the various CW battle fields............... Got the picture?
You should visit the “revamped” Antietam Battlefield.
Put the statues on PRIVATE LAND inside a city but keep them on “historical” battlefields. The haters may not be able to get around historically designated sites to kick out the statues.
I have no love for the Confederacy but it was an important part of our history, and as a historian, I believe in keeping history intact as much as possible, for the public, warts and all.
