The Second Civil War: Back to Alexandria and Louie Doesn't Get His Way

FEBRUARY 3, 2023

**  The base of the Appomattox statue has resurfaced atop Confederate graves in Alexandria.  (Virginia.  This one is about Confederate surrender.  Why would the Confederate-haters be against this.  Don't let CAIR or SPLC know about it.)

**  Here's what Manatee, Bradenton residents said about  Confederate statue's possible return.  (Florida)

**  Louie Minor's motion to destroy Bell Confederate statue fails.  (Bell County, Texas.  He is a Mexican-American.)

Even Lee's Boyhood Home?

OCTOBER 31, 2021

**  Robert E. Lee boyhood home marketed  without mention of ties to Confederate general.  (Arlington, Virginia.)  It is listed as the stately Potts-Fitzhugh House with six bedrooms and $6 million cost.  No mention of it being Lee's boyhood home.  Even pictures of it did not show the Lee marker outside it that has since been taken down by the city under dubious circumstances.  

Personally, I'd be happy to buy it just because of him living there, but I might have a problem coming up with the $6 million.  Plus, who wants to live in all that Washington, D.C. area congestion and, well, it's Virginia and I have a boycott going on for that state for other reasons.

So, What Happens Now in Virginia Regarding the Confederate Monuments? (11/ 9-10 /38)

From the Feb. 12, 2020, WJLA Channel 7 ABC  "Virginia state lawmakers approve Confederate statue removal bill."

This past week, the Virginia General Assembly Senate and House of Delegates passed a bill which is to allow the removal or relocation of Confederate monuments across the state.  This was a Democratic Party thing, something they had promised to do and now taken the step.  They haven't been able to do this before because  they did not control the houses, but after the last election, they gained it.

Before it goes to the governor, also a Democrat and who says he will sign it, it has to go back to both houses where each other's version will have to pass.  It will pass.

Alexandria's mayor, a white man, is gung-ho on removing his city's Appomattox statue and says he will start things on removal as soon as he can, once the bill is signed.
