if you took out the parts of the texas capitol which deal with either the confederacy or the alamo you'd have no capitol left.

There's a memorial to the confederate dead in my hometown of Pensacola as well, very prominently placed downtown.

There are streets in town named for both Mallory and Perry; Stephen Mallory is also buried there. There is also a Davis Street, but that's a common enough name that I don't know that it's named for Jefferson Davis. Also I don't think I ever actually read the inscriptions before, and holy drat.

Confederate Memorial posted:

To the Memory of the Soldiers and Sailors of the Southern Confederacy.

Who fought to uphold the right declared by the pen of Jefferson and achieved by the sword of Washington. With sublime self sacrifice they battled to preserve the independence of the states which was won from Great Britain, and to perpetuate the constitutional government which was established by the fathers.

Actuated by the purest patriotism they performed deeds of prowess such as thrilled the heart of mankind with admiration. "Full in the front of war they stood" and displayed a courage so superb that they gave a new and brighter luster to the annals of valor. History contains no chronicle more illustrious than the story of their achievements; and although, worn out by ceaseless conflict and overwhelmed by numbers, they were finally forced to yield, their glory, "on brightest pages penned by poets and by sages shall go sounding down the ages."

is this a photoshop or just a crazy angle? I can't even believe that I recognized both people in this. Six months ago I could maybe have gotten Sarkozy.
