[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is good. [i]The statue, unveiled in 1914, features a bronze woman, crowned with olive leaves, standing on a 32-foot pedestal, and was designed to represent the American South. According to Arlington, the woman holds a laurel wreath, a plow stock and a pruning hook, with a Biblical inscription at her feet that says: “They have beat their swords into plough-shares and their spears into pruning hooks.”[/i] https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/confederate-memorial-removed-coming-days-arlington-national-cemetery-105718054 [img]https://images.wsj.net/im-840733?width=1280&size=1[/img][/quote] A laurel wreath and a quote about ending war and going back to productive life? Whoever wants this removed is an ignoramus. [/quote] The quote honors the dead “heroes”. I think we can all agree that the confederates were not heroes.[/quote] Turning swords into plowshares? Please explain (better).[/quote]
