Additional commentary.
1. "At Ready" Confederate Monument removed.
After 111 years at the Albemarle County courthouse, this Confederate monument was removed with much difficulty. Albemarle County supervisors voted earlier this summer to take down the monument, which is located within the city of Charlottesville. The monument, cannons and cannonballs will be taken the Third Winchester Battlefield historical site, managed by the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation.
