Jefferson Davis Highway



It always seems a little crazy to me, some of the things that are "normal" in Virginia. Have you ever been to Richmond? They have an entire street called monument avenue dedicated (mostly) to old civil war generals and such. They do have an Arthur Ashe statue, but that was a huge controversy. I know, I know the Civil War wasn't about slavery, or so they say. It was about states' rights. But a states right to own niggers? It seems to me, if you are going to erect statues of these people, they should be maintained with private money rather than tax dollars.
