the left wants a civil war. Can’t have one with a lot of memorials commemorating the dead and the heroes from the previous

A country ignorant of their history is destined to repeat it. The goal of the left is a “French Revolution” here in the USA

Observe the perp. I have no use for these people. I do not wish them well. I hope they get the people's justice they deserve.

If you know the names, you know the regiment. If you know the regiment, find a county in the south from where the regiment was commissioned, and place a marker there.

They do not deserve the honor to recognize such men.

These iconoclasts want to destroy OUR HISTORY
AND HERITAGE so the ignotsnt robots they produce they generate have ABSOLUTELY NO historical reminders which MIGHT generate interest in our origins.

They were captured down South (after the taking of Island #10 near Memphis) in 1862, and brought to Madison as prisoners. They were kept at Camp Randall, the Wisconsin Badgers’ stadium. They died and were buried there, ironically, with honor by their captors. Later, the monument was erected to memorialize their names. They didn’t want to go to Madison in the first place, and it is now very insulting to their dignity to be buried there now among such louts now. Rather than insult them, dig them up and take them home.

Madison is mainly white, liberal and disgusting.

Many of those in Madison who hate and slander the Confederate dead are the descendants of persons who were not even in the US at the time of the so-called Civil War. They have no skin in thee game. The rest of the haters are just indoctrinated ignoramuses.

As long as Council Vice President Sheri Carter has kept the names and whatever history of the deaths, and will notify the proper Confederate Chapters I see no problem.

If anyone has read MacKinlay Kantor's "Andersonville" or histories of any of the Civil War prisons North or South, the descriptions of same are horrible. If those spirits are still around, I am quite sure they want 'out' of those loathsome places.

So it was not enough that these POWs were murdered in a federal death camp, but now even their names must be obliterated according to the Leftists.

“I am in no way shape manner or form a Confederate sympathizer.”

Well, let’s turn the virtue signalling to 11 then.

I don’t believe in erasing history be it good or bad. I do believe that anyone that does want to erase history is a dangerous person.

Ah, the democrat socialist/communists of Madison, Wisconsin follow their “Father Stalin’s” methods of erasing history.

They already have a monument to the Commie Abraham Lincoln Brigade of the Spanish Civil War.
