re: #373 Scottish Dragon

So the Confederate statue of “Silent Sam” has to be re-erected at UNC according to state law and people are wondering where to put it and in what context.
I have the following proposal:
Put him right back where he was…but with one addition. Place a nearby statue of an African American soldier of the 54th Mass Regt with bayonet fixed and rifle leveled at the charge coming right at him.

I really want there to be a memorial to George Thomas in Virginia, preferably his hometown. It’s infuriating how Lee became a secular saint here and practically no one but the Civil War buffs knows General Thomas.
