From the September 11, 2017, Google Alerts for Civil War North Carolina.

**  Three monuments with combined age of 330 years is Cooper's latest stunt.  (North Carolina)  (Loss)  Roy Cooper is governor and he wants them removed from Capitol grounds.

The article did mention that eleven haters were arrested for knocking the Confederate statue over in Durham last month.  I'm glad they were arrested and really thought they'd just get away with it.  However, Governor Cooper failed to condemn their criminal activity.

**  Back to the lawmakers group in North Carolina calling for the removal of Confederate markers in public places.

""WHEREAS, visible and systematic markers of racism and white supremacy, including those commemorating the Confederacy, were erected outside courthouses and centers of government power specifically to reclaim those public spaces for the unjust causes the markers and symbols represent."
