USA Today reported in May that in North Carolina alone, 35 Confederate monuments have been built since the year 2000. It’s hard to argue that those monuments are about history and heritage.
The paper also points out that Kentucky is saturated with Confederate memorials — far more than, say, Union memorials — even though Kentuckians fought for the Union by a 2-1 margin.
A recent Phoenix New Times report found that half of the six Confederate memorials in Arizona were built in 1999 or later, the most recent in 2010. The oldest of the six was erected nearly 80 years after the Civil War, during which Arizona wasn’t yet a state.
^ modern day small government 'conservatives' spend public funds on confederate monuments WHY?
Why do those that fuss about local governments doing such things not get that it falls under the concept of small government? The concept of small government doesn't mean governments can't do thing just that they do them under their authority and at the level in which it should be done.
