RALEIGH, N.C. - A button that experts believe was from Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee’s dress coat and a strand of hair from his horse are among the items found inside a time capsule discovered at the base of a Confederate monument, according to the State Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
The capsule was placed in the base of the monument in 1894, according to the State Archives. The monument was dedicated a year later.
Also among the discoveries reported by the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources were Confederate money, song books and flags and a stone believed to be from Gettysburg.

We should burn this stuff immediately, right?
The shame is....the reason....to take down President Trump by any means. The Dems are evil and doing everything they can to destroy our nation...morally and physically.
was his horse named Traveler or was it Grant’s ???
Its not about the confederacy...
They pulled down a statue of Frederick Douglass in Rochester...
Did they not notice he was black ???
What? No shackles, chains, or whips?
Just in time for the rabbles to toss them into the all-consuming fire.
I wonder if any time capsules were beneath the many religious monuments removed by the grandparents of these antifa/blm marxists?
Traveler was Lee’s horse!!!
Traveller (2 ‘L’s)
They probably didn’t even know who he was.
Yes the English spelling
A bronze statue can represent either a white sun chisened God... or Cultural Appropriation.
Oh,the horror, the horror.
I WANT TO SEE THE FLAGS!
General Lee’s horse was named Traveller. General Grant’s horse was named Cincinnati.
Senior general officers had 3 or 4 horses for their personal use. They had favorites, but it was unwise to ride the same animal exclusively. One of Grant’s other horses was named Jeff Davis.
Thank goodness the racist kkk democrats no longer lynch people or else all these rioters would be dangling from a rope.
Statement by Donald J. Trump on Robert E. Lee statue removal
Just watched as a massive crane took down the magnificent and very famous statue of “Robert E. Lee On His Horse” in Richmond, Virginia. It has long been recognized as a beautiful piece of bronze sculpture. To add insult to injury, those who support this “taking” now plan to cut it into three pieces, and throw this work of art into storage prior to its complete desecration.
Robert E. Lee is considered by many Generals to be the greatest strategist of them all. President Lincoln wanted him to command the North, in which case the war would have been over in one day. Robert E. Lee instead chose the other side because of his great love of Virginia, and except for Gettysburg, would have won the war. He should be remembered as perhaps the greatest unifying force after the war was over, ardent in his resolve to bring the North and South together through many means of reconciliation and imploring his soldiers to do their duty in becoming good citizens of this Country.
Our culture is being destroyed and our history and heritage, both good and bad, are being extinguished by the Radical Left, and we can’t let that happen! If only we had Robert E. Lee to command our troops in Afghanistan, that disaster would have ended in a complete and total victory many years ago. What an embarrassment we are suffering because we don’t have the genius of a Robert E. Lee!
