A memorial to 140 Confederate soldiers who died while being held as prisoners of war in Wisconsin is to be removed from the cemetery plot where they are buried. It's pretty obvious that America lost the Civil War. https://www.wpr.org/madison-city-co...ission-votes-remove-confederate-monument

"There are white supremacists in our federal government and klansmen in our streets, things that might have been acceptable before Charlottesville are no longer OK," Levitan said. "Rebel soldiers who fought to preserve slavery should have their graves respected, but they are not entitled to a large marble monument in Madison's municipal cemetery."

The denial of history seems to be a huge part of mental illness.

The Communist Manifesto says that one step to gain control over a population is to erase their common history and replace it with one of your revised versions.

Doesn't this amount to desecrating a grave? Does Wisconsin have any law against that?

Anybody touching that monument should be shot. Twice. One thing I would like to understand is are black folks really this thin skinned or is it guilty white people that make the Blacks thin skinned?

This actually makes me mad in a way that the whole statue kerfluffle didn’t. This is a fugcking gravestone. If you remove it, you more or less remove the very existence of these men who did nothing more than fight for their country as they see it.
This is Stalinist. These guys are now as anonymous as those poor guys who died in some Siberian gulag.

Any way you care to cut it the men that fought for the South did so with honor and died with honor just as those that fought for the North did. That war settled the proposition of slavery once and for all. We have been fighting that war far too long. Let the dead rest in peace and remember them all for the price they paid. Ultimately they paid for slavery with their blood. Their monuments should be revered and honored for what they are, a remembrance of what the ultimate outcome of that terrible war was and the price of freedom. Freedom for the slaves and reuniting our country under one flag.
