How About the USS Robert E. Lee, USS Stonewall Jackson and USS Hunley?

AUGUST 4, 2020


**  Gaston Co. commissioners  support relocation of Confederate monument.  (North Carolina)

**  Richmond judge dismisses one  Confederate monument, allows another to stand.

** Removal of Confederate monument in Huntsville 'is going to happen', councilman says.  (Alabama.  Mr. Culver is a black man.)

**  Rapides Police Jury seeks to be declared owner of Confederate monument.  (Louisiana. On July 21, the Alexandria City Council voted to remove it.)

**  Letter:  Confederacy was a noble cause.

**  Witt:  renaming military posts carries a cost.  (Of interest, he says three forner U.S. submarines were named after Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and George Dixon (the commander of the submarine Hunley).  Also a submarine tender was named the USS Hunley.  Actually, I looked them up as I had never heard of them before.  The George Dixon was the name of a submarine tender, not a submarine.

All of these ships are no longer in commission.)
