Baltimore Quietly Removed All 4 Of Its Confederate Statues Overnight

All four of Baltimore’s Confederate statues were removed overnight, just days after a white nationalist rally erupted into chaos and violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The Baltimore City Council voted unanimously Monday night to immediately take down the monuments after more than a year of indecision.

City crews began the removal process at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday and finished around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to The Baltimore Sun. Hours earlier,President Donald Trump had defended the white nationalist demonstratorswho gathered in Virginia this weekend, ostensibly to protest the removal of a Confederate statue.

Bravo Baltimore. I think we'll see a lot more of this in the coming years.

Maryland was considered a southern state since it is south of the Mason-Dixon. Why do we have any of those statues?

Historical reasons I suppose.

More Americans died in the Civil War than any other war in history.

False equivalence. White supremacists have more in common with ISIL and terrorists.

You're comparing the US Army during WWII to ISIS? That's kind of sad

False equivalence? How?

The radical left uses intimidation and violence to suppress the speech of people they hate....ISIS uses intim...I'm really not following your logic here.
