Baltimore’s Confederate Monument Was Never About ‘History And Culture’
“This seemingly “historical” move had nothing whatsoever to do with “heritage.” Three times as many Marylanders fought for the Union as for the Confederacy. This move was designed to intimidate African Americans and to reassure white Americans in a moment of rising black power.

Why would a city in a state that sat out the Civil War erect a monument to Confederate generals in 1948?
