Walking by the state capitol, I was surprised by a monument to "Our Confederate Dead" It sits on a busy corner in front of the capitol.
As a westerner, I've never lived in a place where the civil war was fought.
So much of Raleigh's population is made up of people from other places, that sometimes I forget that we're in the South.
Our Governor has requested that the monuments be removed from the capitol grounds and placed at the Bentonville battlefield in Johnston county. But there are laws against removal, and committees that have to approve. info here
This website has some thoughtful opinions on the subject.
