Lee Button Found in Unearthed Time Capsule


From the July 2, 2020, Central Maine  "Lee button found  in time capsule  under Confederate monument."

A button that experts believe  was from Confederate General Robert E. Lee's dress coat and a strand of hair  from his horse are among the items found in the time capsule that was removed from the Confederate monument that stood on the grounds of the North Carolina State Capitol recently.  The monument had stood there for 125 years.

The North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources said the metal box of the time capsule had been seriously damaged over the years by the elements and had rust on it.

Also found in the capsule:  Confederate money, song books and flags and a stone believed to be from the Gettysburg Battlefield.  There were also 1895 newspapers from across the state.

North Carolina's governor ordered this statue and others on the state capitol grounds removed for "public safety" after BLMers and their white minions attacked the statues and even lynched one of the Confederate soldiers in the statue.

Well, at least one good thing about all this Confederadication.

And You Figured BLMers Would be Against Lynching.  --Old Secesh
