The final home of the president of the Confederacy is being offered as a new home for Confederate monuments.
Beauvoir, a beachside estate on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, was Jefferson Davis' retirement home. Now it's a privately run museum in Biloxi. Its director issued a statement Thursday offering to take monuments that "any city or jurisdiction has decided to take down."
The offer follows violence at a white nationalist rally held in Charlottesville, Virginia, amid plans there to remove a statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee.
Executive director Tom Payne says Beauvoir would hope for donations but would consider raising funds to cover any costs of relocating the monuments.
He says the monuments could serve an educational purpose for visitors while being displayed in gardens out of general public view.'

So that will end it.
The alt-left will never show up at this museum to protest.
Right?

But according to posters yesterday we were whitewashing history by vaporizing these statues!

That's not a bad idea. Gets them out of the public and puts them in an appropriate setting so that anyone who wants to see them can do so.

Trump should sign an EO to grant federal protection to the site. Happy?

... until someone decides the estate needs to be razed.
It won't ever end.

Why would he possibly care? Does he have a better idea?

then the libs will build a hurricane making machine to destroy the museum.
Honestly, I am ok with this. Same with Gettysburg and other Civil War Battlefields.

Too late for compromise.

So what's your solution?

I suppose E.D. White in front of the La. Supreme Court is not long for this world.

Good, civil war stuff should be on historical grounds or museums, not courthouses.
I won't argue that point.....actually agree with it.
I do however miss ole PGT at the entrance of City Park in NOLA though.....I had always thought it was a really great equestrian statue

The gashed empty pedestal is just wonderful aesthetics.
