"The contentious Nathan Bedford Forrest statue that stood along Interstate 65 in Nashville for more than two decades came down Tuesday. The move comes just over a year after the owner, Bill Dorris, died in November 2020. It is unclear who ordered the statue to be taken down. No announcement regarding why it was taken down or what is next for it was made Tuesday.
The will intended to leave certain real estate — including the Confederate flag display where the statue sat, an ice house and an artesian well — to the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the Battle of Nashville Trust. He also laid out plans to leave a collection of Gravely brand tractors to a museum and $5 million for the care of his dog, LuLu, a 12-year-old border collie -- earlier this year the LuLu trust was brought down to $30,000 to cover her care. The plan was to sell a trailer park on Hill Road that Dorris owned to satisfy debts against the estate, according to a court order filed in August. The memorial is not the only contested one in the state.In July, a bust of Forrest installed in the Tennessee Capitol was removed from the building, loaded onto a truck and driven away."
Lol...another one of the liberal Democrats Confederate-KKK heroes bites the dust.....they are so triggered right now...lol....I wonder if Biden will fly flags at half-staff because of how butt-hurt he is about it...I wonder if Nancy Pelosi is going to hold a special session in Congress to declare Nathan Forrest Day a National Holiday to cope with their loss....lol..... The rest of the country is making their voices heard -- and they are telling the Democrats to take their Confederate heroes and shove it.....
