Keep All Confederate Memorials in Pensacola .


Keep All Confederate Memorials in Pensacola .
The Issue
There have been numerous petitions to destroy and/or remove the Confederate Memorial at Lee Square in Pensacola, Florida after the past events in Charlottesville. As horrible as those events were it should not be a rallying call to destroy history. Confederate soldiers , to whom most of these memorials are dedicated to; were considered to be Veterans of war by an Act of Congress. Thus allowing them the same privelege of being honored as any other war veteran. Censoring of history just because it doesn't fit a certain agenda has to be stopped. Please sign the petition to let the City of Pensacola and all elected officials know that we want our memorials to remain.
