St. Louis, Baltimore, New Orleans , Durham and Memphis. These were cities in the U.S. in which Confederate monuments were removed in 2017, most in the dead of night.

In Memphis, it was even more tragic. A Shelby County , Tn, Commissioner formed a �non-for-profit� corporation, that �bought� the land from the City of Memphis for $1000.00 and then tore down the monuments to Jefferson Davis and General Nathan Bedford Forrest. In the case of Forrest, the monument also served as a grave marker for both he and his wife and if you the reader are financially minded and not concerned with grave desecration, the land sold in downtown Memphis was worth over $2,000,000.

If you have more of a legal mind, then maybe you are concerned with the fact that this �sweetheart� real estate deal was in direct violation of a Tennessee state law that protects veterans memorials.

Maybe you�re thinking; Why should I care?
