It sure was. And groups from outside the community that had likely never even visited sued to force them to keep it. Then an army of Nazi’s descended on the city to defend the statue, committed murder, and got called “fine people” by the President.^ total nonsense. Maybe go to Charittesville sometime. Great town, great music, great people. If they don’t want a statue in their community, they should have the right to remove it. Unite the Right should never have gone there.A few racist idiots on both sides showed up and started shit with each other.Your daughter probably marched in Charlottesville or applauded them.
The stated issue for Charlottesville was removing the statue of Robert E. Lee (but that was just a pretext).
I am not one of those people who really gives a shit about images of the confederacy. My great (x3) grandfather was in the Louisiana Cavalry. He was a farmer who never owned slaves, but he not only had to compete with slave owners, he was conscripted and forced to go fight a war to maintain the competitive advantage of his competition (slave labor). I don't think he really had much love for the confederacy, based on my great (x3) grandmother's journal entries.
So, I don't really care about preserving the icons of the confederacy.
But, that's not the real issue. Robert E. Lee was not the real target. Arlington is 100 miles away.
But, Monticello is in Charlottesville.
The REAL objective is to re-write history and scrub it clean of Thomas Jefferson.
Why?
IT'S PART OF THE COMMUNIST REVOLUTION. The legacy of Thomas Jefferson is a HUGE roadblock to the tyrannical authoritarians leading the drive for the complete destruction of liberty.
That's why these communist ass wipes always point out that he was a slave owner, conveniently leaving out the part where he was also the guy who took the first step to end the practice (Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves of 1807). They also make shit up about him raping his slaves, having zero evidence that such actions were non-consensual, and conveniently leaving out the fact that he considered some of them to be close family.
Charlottesville was not about racism. It was an act designed to lay the groundwork for de-legitimizing the very founding of our nation so the commies can kill the constitution and steal all our property.

Was the removal of the statues voted on?
