I sincerely hope it is moved in its entirety to a nearby highly visibly location. Virginia seceded last after a tumultuous statewide vote versus other southern states decision at the statehouse level. The removal of a statue can, in a certain context, be exhilarating. I’ve also worked at The New York Times and New York Observer. White guy here, lived in the "hood", teacher in the "hood", lived with the "bruthurs" ..... fully understands the "lost" white guilt people. The bronze statue in Alexandria commemorated Confederate soldiers from Alexandria. There's a word for people who do that. I don’t think they’re gonna tell us, which is fine, but I don’t believe it’s in the city,” Chapman said.The UDC responded last week saying it would remove the statue in July, Mayor Justin Wilson said. Justice Tanny heard a plea from Lt. Milligan and sent a finding to Linclon informing him that he had violated the Constitution and that only Congress could suspend habeas corpus. Let the traffic flow.Let's fondly remember the soldiers that fought for the right of every Virginian to own slaves. All states had a right to secede particularly because Virginia and four other states had written into their ratifications the right to do so and the Constitution protects all states equally, thus all states had a right to secede.

Many of the Northern states supported Southern secession and New York City's Council and Mayor, in fact, had voted for secession in sympathy with South Carolina. "You have drunk too much Revisionist Reconstruction and NAACP Cool-Aid. It will be forgotten just as 9/11 has. It's very unfortunate.Historic Old Town is erasing its history. I have no problem keeping but moving the statue to a more suitable location where it doesn't appear we are glorifying him rather than documenting our history.The United Daughters of the Confederacy removed the Appomattox statue that, since the late 1800s, has stood the middle of the intersection in Old Town. I’ve also worked at The New York Times and New York Observer. As if removing Confederate symbols of ANY kind is going to change ANYTHING. There is no justification or merit in those remarks, but gross stupidity! “They contacted the city apparently last night, given what is going on, and asked to accelerate it,” Wilson said.“I think they found a place for it. People can and should examine history with critical thinking.
