Longstreet: The Confederate General Who Defied the South

[Cirsium]

1. So where are Longstreet's statues?

Thanks.

Where are the monuments to Confederate Gen. James Longstreet?

General James Longstreet was an important figure in the Confederate Army; as important as Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, J.E.B. Stuart or A.P. Hill; nearly as critical to the Confederate cause as Robert E. Lee.

...

Yet outside of a roadside sign near his birthplace in Edgefield, South Carolina, one statue in Gainesville, Georgia, where he died, and his name on a few streets in a handful of Southern towns, there are virtually no memorials to Longstreet throughout the South – or the entire country, for that matter.

...

At a time of debate over the removal of Confederate monuments and amid charges that some protestors want to “erase history,” Longstreet’s near-expungement raises questions about whose history is being scrubbed away and why that history was created in the first place. It underscores that history – and particularly the history of the Civil War – is not simply an objective chronicling of facts. It is often shaped by people to promote particular political agendas and ideologies.
