Now It's Confederate Cemeteries

[anatta]

A mayor says monuments to confederate soldiers are being removed from a cemetery in traditionally liberal Madison, Wisconsin, because the Civil War was “a defense of the deplorable practice of slavery.”

Madison Mayor Paul Soglin made the announcement in a statement Thursday. It isn’t clear whether the monuments have already been removed.

The mayor says removing the monuments at the Forest Hill Cemetery will produce “minimal or no disruption to the cemetery itself.”
In his statement, Soglin also calls the Civil War “an act of insurrection and treason.” He says another Confederate monument in the city is being removed, but provided no details.

About 140 Confederate soldiers died at Camp Randall during the Civil War as prisoners of war, and their graves were honored in the "Confederate Rest Cemetery" within the Forest Hill Cemetery. Soglin stated he ordered staff to remove a plaque and a stone there.

Madison was the home to the Union Army's Camp Randall during the Civil War. According to Wisconsinhistory.org, between April and May 1862, 1,400 Confederate prisoners of war were housed at Camp Randall's garrison. Many of the prisoners sent to Wisconsin were from the 1st Alabama Infantry.

"Taking down monuments will not erase our shared history," Soglin said in a prepared statement. "The Confederacy’s legacy will be with us, whether we memorialize it in marble or not. I agree with other Mayors around the country also speaking out and taking action. We are acknowledging there is a difference between remembrance of history and reverence of it. In Madison, we join our brothers and sisters around the country to prove that we as a people are able to acknowledge, understand, reconcile, and most importantly, choose a better future for ourselves."

Reading comprehension, eh?

Look Jethro, I'm not the slightest bit interested in anything you have to say about anything.

Why even make attempts at communication?
