While We're Removing Statues-- Part 2: Four Union Officers

Remember, if the person to whom the statue is dedicated has ever done anything to offend anybody, their statue must come down.

Some Civil War statues:

**  GEN. GEORGE McCLELLAN--  A major Union leader from Philadelphia, but not very successful on the battlefield.  Once called Lincoln "nothing more than a well-meaning baboon."

**  GEN. JOHN F. REYNOLDS--  Shot dead on the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg.  Only then did his wife tell her parents that she had married Reynolds, a Protestant.

**  ULYSSES S. GRANT--  Won the Civil War and elected president for two terms, but a heavy drinker.

**  GALUSHA PENNYPACKER--  When he was wounded at the Battle of Fort Fisher, his men beat to death the Confederate who shot him..  That wasn't his fault, so maybe his ten-foot statue should stay although it depicts him in virtually no clothes with some kind of ancient helmet and two lions.
