Dem Officials Cooking Up Plan to Obliterate Memorial Above Grave of Confederate, Unearth the Deceased Officer

Democrats in Virginia are set to dig up the remains of a Confederate Civil War general and tear down a memorial as the American left continues its campaign to rewrite history. The city of Richmond, Virginia, is currently finalizing plans to disinter the remains of Gen. Ambrose Powell “A.P.” Hill and to tear down the monument that honors his life. WRIC-TV reported that, under the orders from city officials, including millennial Democratic Mayor Levar Stoney, Hill will be dug up and erased from the city’s collective memory. A committee right now is looking over the logistics of that, and is working with descendants of Hill regarding where to relocate his remains...Hill is being canceled 136 years after he was shot through the heart by a Union soldier on April 2, 1865 — just weeks before the end of the Civil War. By all accounts, Hill never owned any slaves and never supported slavery. He simply felt compelled to fight for Virginians during a time when many Americans were more concerned about their neighbors and their individual states than their loyalty to the nation as a whole. When Virginia seceded from the Union, Hill chose to fight with his neighbors. Hill, a West Point graduate, was respected as a general, both by his own men and by opposing officers. Yet his remains will soon be dug up and relocated — now that his service to Virginia has been deemed to have been a slight to the modern enemies of American history. Hill’s new enemies are a people who don’t understand nuance. These are people who apparently believe that the Civil War was a conflict in which only one of two binary choices could have made by men who took up arms. These people believe that men either fought for or against slavery... In Hill’s case, amid a tumultuous and violent time where the political and social fabric of the country was ripped to shreds by people above his pay grade, he made the choice to resign from the U.S. Army and fight for the people of Virginia. There is arguably something honorable in Hill’s life and death that can never be accepted by modern critics with such a rudimentary understanding of a very complicated conflict. In the years after Hill’s battlefield death, he was honored in Richmond, the former capital of the Confederate States of America, as the solider he was. Hill was not a race fanatic. The man, according to the accounts of some historians, was an abolitionist. He was also a pure battlefield tactician who served this country valiantly in the Mexican-American War...MORE
