Southern Missouri is a far better place for Confederate monuments.
Actually, southern Missouri was not a natural place for slavery—think Ozarks. Central and Northern Missouri were more suitable for slave-based agriculture. That said, there is a push in Cape Girardeau (I don’t know how big a push, just a letter in the paper) demanding that our little Confederate memorial stone be removed from view. It sits in the courthouse park next to a much larger statue of a Union soldier.
