change the name of the road commonly known as Route 1 to Richmond Highway
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That won’t work in Richmond where Route 1 is also Jefferson Davis Hwy.

Locally, some years back we had Jefferson Davis Drive quietly turn into just Davis Drive. Who knows, maybe they figured the PC Police were coming and they tried to camouflage it?...

Davis was a gentleman who possessed so many qualities indicative of our noble south.
He was no more pro-slavery than Lincoln. He simply objected to tyrannical overreach

The grand Kleegle has lots of things in his honor
Robert Byrd Highway
Robert Byrd High school
More than 50 buildings built with funds from US taxpayers directed to West Virginia are named for either Byrd or his wife, Erma Ora Byrd (née James).

Meh, I have no problem with this. Jefferson Davis led a traitorous movement. You don’t see the “King George III” expressway in Boston.
The only reason its named the Jefferson Davis Highway is because confederate sympathizers who couldn’t accept that they lost the war insisted on it.
Monuments to Generals are one thing. They honorably led their troops on the field of battle. But I’m not sure why Jefferson Davis should be honored with a highway.
Now... bring out your flaming arrows......

Haven’t you been paying attention? They’ve been ripping down monuments and statues for years.
LIke I said... I oppose this for soldiers. But Jefferson Davis was a politician.
