POINT LOOKOUT, MD. (WUSA9) - A privately owned park in St. Mary's County has become the most overt and public site for celebration of Confederate symbols in the entire state.
The Confederate Memorial Park at Point Lookout Maryland is the outgrowth of a 19-year ban on the display of Confederate symbols at the neighboring Point Lookout Confederate Cemetery, which is federal property administered by the US Department of Veterans Affairs.
Descendants of Confederates were so outraged by the ban, they raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and bought the property next door in 2003. In the years since, the Descendants of Point Lookout POWS Organization has developed a flag court featuring a bronze statue of an unarmed southern POW, and an array of flags linked to the Confederacy. The centerpiece of the park is the Confederate battle flag flying from the tallest staff above the statue.

Trump needs to Federalize ALL Confederate statues.
ReplyDeleteGreat !! must be ONLY place Left in America !!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust wait until the anarchists come and tear them down.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that the solution to removal of confederate history is for all patriots to ban together and buy land for memorials and statues and flags. Then trespassers can be charged. Nothing will be on federal lands. Same with 10 commandments.
ReplyDeleteLooks like one of the few places where history will be retained and viewable!
ReplyDeleteAnd just like that, they stopped talking about Russia.
