This submission has been removed because it involves current events, i.e. inviting a discussion on how people memorialize the event now and inviting opinion on whether or not that's "ok". To keep from discussion of politics, we have a 20-year rule here. You may want to try /r/ask_politics or another current-events focused sub.

Alternatively, if you want more information about the Confederate generals, etc, feel welcome to repost a question on that.
