Bradenton Confederate Monument update

checked this today(I live in Venice). Also posted the original statement here as a reply in TheFerett weekly wonderful remarks:

Trump has not commented ...
...yet
.i saw press coverage of Bradenton cops handling pro and con protestor to remove confederate statue at courthouse. Spending most of my life in Georgia and every informed on most Waaah shit, I was surprised I was unaware of this. Although seceded with the rest of the South, the soldiers pretty much kept control of Florida need and crops helping to feed the fighting army. Also tried to help shut down northern blockade of ports.

I wanted to learn what the monument memorialized. A statue put )up by USC in 1924 to commemorate the confederate soldiers. Also has names of Lee and Jackson.

I am posting this in Florida group but just thought it was fun enough to share with your fabulous writings!
