  The Last Night They Tore Ole' Dixie Down

  Richmond removes it'last last Confederate monument and subsequent interment,

  The city of Richmomd it's city owned Confederate Monday more than two years after it began to purge itself historical oppression.

  It took just minutes to free the statue of General A.P. Hill fron it's base before  a crane using yellow straps looped over the statue's arms lifted on to a flatbed truck.

  Efforts to remove  the statue were complicated because the ole General's remains were interred beneath it following the end of the tragic war.

  Post Tragic Civil War: Shermenesque Statement regarding Seeking Presidency

  "I hereby state." Sherman said in 1871, and mean all that I say , that I never have been and never will be a candidate for president; that if nominated  by either party I shall peremptorily decline and even if unamimously  elected I should decline to serve. As recalled by his son, Sherman on to boil this ironclad denial down to a dozen  words for a telegram to the 1884 Republican National Convention:

  "I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elrcted."
