Their Glory Shall Not Be Forgotten

Ahh…the South. This is the monument in the center of the historic section of Columbus, right across the street from the house where the guy who invented Coke lived. The monument says, and I quote:

“Erected by the Ladies of the Memorial Association, May 1879, to honor the Confederate soldiers who died to repel the unconstitutional invasion to protect the right reserved to the people, and to perpetuate forever the sovereignty of the states.”

I had to take a picture.
