JUST FOR THE RECORD:
CONFEDERATE Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines that fought in the War of Northern Aggression were made U.S. Recognized War Veterans by an act of Congress in 1957; U.S. Public Law 85-425. Sec 410, Approved 23 May 1958.
This made all CONFEDERATE Army, Navy, Marine Veterans EQUAL to U.S. Veterans. Additionally, under U.S. Public Law 810, Approved by the 17th Congress on 26 FEB 1929, The War Department was directed to erect headstones and recognize CONFEDERATE grave sites as U.S. War Grave sites.
And just for the record, the last CONFEDERATE veteran died in 1958. So, in essence, when you remove a CONFEDERATE Statue, monument, or headstone, you are in fact removing a statue, monument, or headstone of a US GOVERNMENT RECOGNIZED VETERAN OF WAR.

well the government was racist back then
And they were okay with it. They even let them build the "White House" twice.
Then you have the general public (now leaning far left for the most part) that will do a Google search, find SNOPES and 'believe' everything SNOPES says. They are unwilling to further search the records and see for themselves the actual 'recorded' facts.
That's why I included the links as I did.
Our current society friends, is doomed... [V]
and i'd bet NO senator is even aware of this act......to busy funneling money into their bank
Too busy burying their hands in our pockets and their heads up the * of their leftist supporters... [:(!]
If that comes to pass, the rest of the list, will fall into place.
