This memorial was itself a compromise in 2000, when liberals bitched about the flag being on top of the state capitol building.
So a deal was made to move it to a memorial.
Now the flag is gone and the Left is going to go after removing all of the other Confederate names and history.
If the liberals want to go after a really racist memorial on the State House grounds, they need look no further than the statue of “Pitchfork Ben” Tillman about seventy feet west of the Confederate Soldier memorial. Been there since 1940.
Look him up; he was evil. But all the libs & blacks care about hauling down is a battle flag.
