The Confederacy Under Attack-- Part 154: Nine Monuments Vandalized in Confederate Section at Raleigh Cemetery-- Part 1

From the Jan. 4, 2016, Google Alerts for Confederate.

This took place at Oakwood Cemetery in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Most of them were the graves of Confederate officers and it is estimated that $20,000 in damage was done.

It would seem that some group has declared open war on any Confederate markers or statues.  "Silent Sam" at UNC-Chapel Hill has repeatedly been vandalized as have statues at the courthouses in Chapel Hill and Durham.  Also the Confederate Women's memorial at the N.C. Capitol has fallen victim.

Most often the vandals have spray-painted "Black Lives Matter" or some other racist thing on the memorials and graves.
