The New War on the South’s Patrimony

 

In the news late today, on a nice summery afternoon in early September, I saw live on television a crane removing the large statue of General Robert E. Lee from a park in Dallas. I had to switch channels immediately because I was so upset and fed up with these imbecile journalists bleating the left-wing party line about the nobility of this new war to eradicate the final remnants of the so-called Confederate white supremacy and Southern proto-Nazi racism.

Earlier this year, the great-great-grandsons of Stonewall Jackson wrote a long letter to Slate Magazine, which was republished elsewhere, saying that it was time that their ancestor’s statue be removed from Monument Avenue. They said they were ashamed of the Confederate Cause.
And now Sir Moses Ezekiel, a proud Jewish Confederate and major 19th Century sculptor known throughout Europe, has descendants crying for the removal of his beautiful Confederate memorial from Arlington Cemetery.
