Confederate monuments in Gettysburg spark debate among historians

 

Across America, protesters and city leaders are removing monuments of Confederate soldiers.

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, is home to more than 40 Confederate monuments. The park is roughly 6,000 acres, attracting nearly a million visitors each year. 

Are the Confederate monuments educational or do they glorify slavery? It depends on who you ask.
“This is the largest of the Confederate monuments on the Gettysburg battlefield,” said Jason Martz, an acting public affairs officer for the Gettysburg National Military Park.

The statue of Robert E. Lee stands about 41 feet tall on the Gettysburg battlefield, a pivotal site of the Civil War.
