I agree. Get rid of this thread.
Revise - get rid of the cannons, statues, and confederate references. Make it a simple cenotaph representing all of those who died in the conflict from our state who participated from both sides.
(apologies for my crappy Photoshop skills)…
Now, I’ll shut up.
Props to Leo for giving us a chance to bang this topic around a bit. We were able to let off a little steam…
This monument will be a nice addition and located on the southeast corner of Union Square, just opposite my sister church, First Baptist Church on Wilmington Street. I attend First Baptist Church on Salisbury Street. And, yes, Raleigh has two congregations named ‘First Baptist Church’.

We’re done.
In a strange way, I wonder if topics like this could be discussed but I could have the topic only be live for maybe 3 days, some short period of time, rather than letting it evolve (devolve?).
