Save Confederate Statues, Art, and Gravesites.

The Issue

Preservation of American history is vital to the education of future generations of Americans. Removing sculpture and exhuming the bodies of Confederate veterans is Orwellian and tantamount to cultural genocide. The destruction will not stop with these veterans. ALL American historical figures are in danger of elimination from our history.  Stop the destruction of Confederate Veteran art and sculpture, and the exhumation of General Forrest and his wife Mary, in Memphis, Tennessee.  

We as Americans have a responsibility to our children. By our example, we can teach them tolerance for different viewpoints, and reverence for art and history.
