In June 1862, the 37th United States Congress enacted legislation that imposed a property tax on all land in "insurrectionary" areas of the United States. The 1863 amendments to the statute required that these taxes be paid in person. Mary Lee, behind Confederate lines, could not pay the tax in person, resulting in the Arlington estate being seized for nonpayment of taxes. It was auctioned off on January 11, 1864, and the U.S. government acquired the property for $26,800 .

During the U.S. Civil War, the mansion was used as a U.S. Army headquarters and its grounds were later selected as the site of Arlington National Cemetery, in part to ensure that Lee would never again be able to reside there.

Too bad. A fitting end to a traitor home.

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.”

No, it isn't "GOOD". Why do you think that?

It should go without saying that it's good to remove, from a cemetery for people who served in the US Army, a monument honoring people who fought against the US Army in an effort to preserve the legal right to treat some people as property, not people.

No monuments to traitors on US property.

You mean property that was first illegally seized by the US Government from the Lee family and then was made unusable for future generations of the Lee family because it had been made into a cemetery, that was bought by the US Government at below market value.

OK? *shrug*

Next you'll complain that the US illegally failed to compensate enslavers for taking their property (enslaved people).

Ah reparations, interesting take.

Like the traitors who rebelled against the Crown?

If the UK doesn’t want to put up statues of George Washington I’d understand that.

It's not good. OP is a sheeple who thinks this is a cool development. It is not. The tide is already turning on this. These monuments to the dead are ART but the liberals have to demand there way and destroy. OP and her likes are idiots and have never read what happened under Mao, or in Russia, etc.

I don't need to read about what happen in Russia because I lived in the former USSR for years starting in 1993.

I acknowledge the artistry of the sculpture and the artist's skill. Gorgeous work. But, just because it's art doesn't mean it isn't propaganda. Perhaps if you, yourself, studied history and art more, you'd be less susceptible to propaganda. It's an excellent way to develop critical thinking skills.

As has been noted extensively on this thread, the monument honors people who are unrepentant about their efforts to continue the brutal enslavement of people and upholding white supremacy. As revealed in the Latin inscription, they may have lost but their cause was just.

Good riddance.

Looks like she's taking a dump on it or maybe wiping her butt with it. With the skill the artist has shown, if he wanted to show her leaning on it, he would have done something different. And, 'leaning' isn't in keeping with the rest of the imagery. Defacating on it certainly is.
