A defunct enemy country that only existed for a very bad cause for a brief but brutal 4 years and which has now been gone for 150 years. Should we put up a monument honoring Al Baghdadi, leader of ISIS? They are an enemy state as well.
Is Al Baghdadi the president of the CSA? Is the capitol of ISIS in Virginia?
Regardless of who he is president of or where his capitol is, WHY DO WE HONOR ENEMIES?
Has it still not sunk in to you that the CSA was an ENEMY OF THE UNITED STATES?
What you don't seem to get is he has NEVER been an enemy of Virgina or any of the states part of the CSA.
Learn your history!
I have read my history and it says the CSA was an enemy of the United States, it says the CSA crumbled and died 150 years ago and for 150 years Virginia has been part of the United States. You still seem to think the CSA is alive and well and refuse to accept history.

WTF says "CSA"?

Don't worry -- there will be a monument to Al Baghdadi in about 20 years when they take over theUS

While I agree with changing the name, one negative to consider is that this could be a large expense not just for taxpayers (changing signage), but for businesses (large and small) along the Hwy- changing letterhead, advertising materials, etc.

Logic clearly isn't one of your strengths.

Didn't you hear, minorities and social justice warrior type figures can be out on road signs and monuments regardless of what they did. Haven't you seen all the Che Guevera posters about? We only tear down monuments featuring white, heterosexual, males.
If you don't like those Che Guevara posters or don't think anything should be named after Malcolm X or Marion Berry, you are free to mount your own campaign to try and stop them. That's how it works. Or, you could go on doing what you're doing, which is to just keep your fat ass in your armchair with your sixpack of beer and shake your fist at anonymous people on the internet. Good luck with that.
Better idea: How about we keep the places named after Malcolm X, keep the places named after Jeff Davis, and grow up?

Right. And they should be free to do so. Virtually every important religious, business, political, etc... leader on earth has a mixed legacy. There are very few Ghandis and very few Hitlers in this world. For most leaders, it's fine to recognize the good, recognize the bad and try to move on and try do better ourselves.
