This is ridiculous. I had family fighting on both sides.
At the same place on the same day many times.. Battle of Elkhorn Tavern was one.
Destroying or moving monuments from public view won’t change what happened in the past.
I have found my southern ancestors most interesting.

Elkhorn Tavern? I believe you are referring to the battle also known as Pea Ridge.

My great-great-grandfather lived near there and according to family tradition, brought valuable information to the Union commanders about the Confederate troop movements. He later served 6 months in a Missouri Union outfit. Meanwhile his brother fought on the Confederate side.
