that map doesn't even show Alaska

But I know of 2 statues in town for Captain Cook and sometimes Natives put graffiti on them

That's all I can think of. We wouldn't have Confederate statues here obviously

There was no real key saying what all the pins meant so going to the site that explained all of it, seems like a lot of the pins are road names or those little plaques you see around towns. A couple things I clicked on were monuments but it seems like its just a list of anything mentioned thats confederate related. I guess there are some monuments so technically TC isnt too far off.

Yeah but your state has a ton of pins in it.

Indiana confirmed less racist than racist-ass California.

Digging on the site I found an interactive map. North of me there are 4 small streets all connecting named after Confederate generals. South of me are two memorial things for local Confederate generals or leaders or whatever. I knew of them but never thought much of them.

We're a liberal safe haven though. Those pins are probably just ironic.

Tennessee Just Voted to Keep a Racist Statue of a KKK 'Grand Wizard'

The bust at the Tennessee state Capitol was installed long after the Civil War in 1973.

I hate this fucking state. @Johnny_Nutcase drunk road trip to wreck a statue brother, let's do it

Im eh on PAs monuments: one is a historical marker put up by the towns historical society where they believe last encampment was made by the confederates before they retreated back south of the Mason-Dixon Line, which I would tentatively be okay with, since its marking an actual event in history.

The other is a monument for two Confederate soldiers that were killed in a skirmish near the town, which I would be glad to see removed, since there is already a historical marker where the soldiers are buried, and the monument itself was sponsored by the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

I kinda never had any interest in going to Tennessee but if I do go, I guess this would be a fair reason to do it.
