Speaking for Lee Park specifically, the statue was erected in 1924 and has no relation to any particular historical event that happened near here. They just put up a statue of a general because that's what they wanted to put up -- just because it's been there for a while doesn't mean it's of historical value.

E: You also seem to think this statue has something direct to do with UVA. It does not.

Yep. It's been in the works for a while and is tied up in some legal wrangling -- war monuments are protected from removal by law, but this isn't a war monument so much as a monument featuring a guy that was in the war so it's not clear if it's covered.

I am surprised the Confederate moment isn't just laughed at outright.
You have had 150+ years to 'rise again' and the best you could do is pretend cowboy and dress up your pick up trucks.

To give some credit Germany took less than 30 years to go from being beaten in one massive war (losing 4 million people) to nearly taking over the loving world.
The 'South shall rise again'?
150+ years and counting idiots.

You're going to get enough poo poo for this post, so I'll just zoom in on the bolder part and say that these statues and monuments were not erected during the CW or Reconstruction, they were erected largely during the mid-20th century and into the civil rights era, and were always intended to be a power dynamic.

This is not historical preservation, this is revisionism at best, and intimidation at worst.

They're monuments to white supremacy - not a rememberance of the cost of the war on our nation. We should have memorials to that part of our history, but they need to not memorialize the the figures who helped defend the institution of slavery.

It really speaks volumes that literal nazis (literally saluting, using nazi slogans, marching not unlike nazis) feel threatened by this and came out to protest. That should be a sign that these statues aren't about a rememberence of the war or a celebration of culture but about white supremacy. Their presence and their actions make this explicit.

The city council voted to remove the Lee statue in April.

Slate - How Charlottesville, Virginia�s Confederate statues helped decimate the city�s historically successful black communities. posted:

In June a resolution to rename Charlottesville�s two Confederate parks was passed by the Charlottesville City Council unanimously. Lee Park, the home of a controversial Robert E. Lee statue that the council previously voted to remove, will become Emancipation Park, and Jackson Park, the home of a statue of Stonewall Jackson, will become Justice Park. Meanwhile, locals are working on ways to counteract a Ku Klux Klan rally, proposed for July 8, and an alt-right March on Charlottesville headed by Richard Spencer, proposed for Aug. 12, at the site of the Lee statue�s eventual removal.

On May 13, University of Virginia alum and alt-right activist Spencer led a nighttime rally in Lee Park in protest of the council�s plan to remove the statue. This protest brought national attention to the battle between local activists and the outside alt-right and white nationalist forces whose actions drew comparisons to the Klan.

What has been missing from this fight, though, is the specific history of Charlottesville�s Confederate statues is intimately tied to Charlottesville�s city planning projects and its persistent displacement of black residents, The statues of Jackson and Lee not only symbolize the violence of the ongoing displacements of gentrification; they also initiated and facilitated these changes when they were first put up. Strategically erecting these symbols of the Confederacy at the edges of or atop black and nonwhite immigrant communities provided Charlottesville�s white elite with a means of physically buttressing their ever-fragile hold of white supremacy.

Lee�s statue was unveiled before thousands of attendees on May 21, 1924, during a two-day gathering of the Sons of the Confederacy at which the city also saw KKK agitation. With the University of Virginia President Edwin Alderman giving the statue�s dedication before several Confederate memorial groups, the ceremony represented a partnership between the state university and national organizations of the Confederacy in the monumentalization of the Lost Cause.

While mob violence occurred relatively infrequently in the Shenandoah Valley, lynchings elsewhere in Virginia and the rest of the country were often a reaction to black economic success that counteracted white supremacist theories. Charlottesville�s thriving black neighborhood, Vinegar Hill, was a prime example of one of these successful communities. The Lee statue, which was erected just a few blocks from Vinegar Hill, sent an obvious message to residents: Public space, public institutions, and public success are not for you.

The Jackson statue, meanwhile, was dedicated in Charlottesville�s Court Square in 1921 during the year�s reunion of the Confederate Veterans and the Daughters of the Confederacy. Depicting Jackson riding his horse into battle, the monument was unveiled from underneath a massive Confederate flag with 5,000 Confederate-nostalgic revelers looking on.

This monument to Jackson lies atop what was once a majority-black area known as McKee Row. In 1914, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors confiscated the land from its black residents and granted it to the city. The city justified its action by noting its concern about the �rowdy� activity from McKee Row interfering with the Levy Opera showgoers. It also cited concern regarding the presence of young, presumably white, men �slumming� through the McKee Row neighborhood.

To emphasize its punitive role vis-�-vis the black community, the statue itself was built over the former location of the Charlottesville jail. Panoptic and stern, the statue�s function was made clear in its position proximal to the former location of a whipping post.

Throughout the 20th century, the city of Charlottesville has precipitated multiple waves of urban renewal or gentrification. As James Baldwin put it, these sorts of efforts were actually more like �Negro removal.� The planning projects displaced black residents not only from their homes and communities, but from their businesses, their sources of wealth, and their proximity to institutions of socio-political power.

Installing Confederate monuments helped to facilitate and buttress these displacements both physically�by razing and demarcating the borders of black neighborhoods�and ideologically�by marking areas of political and financial power as part of the ideology of the Lost Cause. In the decades after the erection of the Lee statue, the best-known casualty in Charlottesville was Vinegar Hill.

A vibrant black neighborhood and business district effectively connecting the downtown mall to the University of Virginia, it was marked as �blighted� and completely razed in an urban renewal project in the mid-1960s. Its sole civic memorial is a small plaque at knee-height, obscured by potted vegetation, at the west end of the downtown mall shopping district. Its message, �Today Vinegar Hill is just a memory,� is a mere salve, while the Lee and Jackson statues are perpetual wounds.

The ongoing whitelash against removal of the Confederate statues doesn�t necessarily reflect the strength of white supremacy today. It is rather a sign of its enormous fragility. It is a sign that those who seek justice can win. Perhaps not all at once and almost certainly not once and for all. Recognizing not just the historic symbolism of these statues, but also their practical effects is a good first step.

They're under the impression that Nazis and fascists are like any typical political stance so they deserve their say. They don't understand the fascist doesn't argue and debate in good faith, that their only true rhetoric is violence and death, and that they grow like an infection in a political system until they have the strength to destroy and replace it with the oppression and desolation they dream of. Until they realize that liberals will always pat themselves on the back for taking "The High Road" by letting fascists spew their hate to show how much better they are for believing in the human rights that the fascist seeks to utterly destroy with contempt.

Chanting “White lives matter!” “You will not replace us!” and “Jews will not replace us!” several hundred white nationalists and white supremacists carrying torches marched in a parade through the University of Virginia campus Friday night.

The fast-paced march was made up almost exclusively of men in their 20s and 30s, though there were some who looked to be in their mid-teens. Beginning a little after 9:30 p.m., the march lasted 15 to 20 minutes before ending in skirmishes when the marchers were met by a small group of counterprotesters at the base of a statue of Thomas Jefferson, the university’s founder.
