the monuments were put up by union soldiers. It was only around the turn of the 2oth century that confederate monuments began to be built. And the people who hated to have the confederate flag on the battlefield park. were the veterans themselves. Next time you go to Gettysburg visit the Virginia memorial and see the flag that is on display on that monument. It was put up around 1917 i think and it does NOT have the confederate flag because the union veterans objected to it. So the state flag of Virginia is displayed NOT the traditional battle flag of the confederacy.
Today’s wokesters would ban both the Confederate and Union flags.
Do they still have Gen. Meade at the top of the hill, and Gen. Lee facing him from the bottom of the hill for Pickett’s Charge? Each on horseback? I think Lee’s horse was “Traveler”.
