[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]

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”.[b] I think we can all agree that the confederates were not heroes[/b].[/quote]

Why would you think that? Most of us (Americans) agree that the Confederates were not heroes, but some of us apparently disagree and wish to continue honoring people who fought on the side of preserving the legal right to own people.[/quote]

So they can do that on private property and we can disparage them. [/quote]
