Last confederate statue has been removed from Richmond…

Richmond, Virginia—the former capital of the Confederate States of America—pulled down its last remaining city-owned Confederate statue yesterday, that of Ambrose Powell “A.P.” Hill. This Confederate statue was among the few in the country that I am aware of in which the decedent was interred underneath it, and the general’s remains are still waiting to be removed and relocated, but for all intents and purposes the era of C.S.A. monuments in the short-lived country’s short-lived capital is over. It is done.
