CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Citing public safety concerns, a North Carolina town has removed its Jefferson Davis Highway memorial marker ahead of planned weekend protests.

News outlets report the Town of Chapel Hill removed the marker Friday, after receiving clarification from the state attorney general that it was on town property, and not University of North Carolina or state property.

1. So glad to see people in the South standing up for civil rights - this shit has gone on too long.

2. We fucked up Reconstruction

we should have punished and humiliated the South. The South has been fighting a Civil "cold" War since the mid 1800s. The traitorous rebel scum never got the message that THEY LOST.
