[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

McClellan? Seriously?

[Former President tack50]

McClellan? Seriously?

Tbh I borrowed the list from some "Civil War Generals and leaders" list on Wikipedia. But he can be safely removed if people want.

[S019]

I agree with the Attorney General that the 1864 Democratic Nominee should be removed, also I'd like to honor some non-military men, who pushed for good policies during Reconstruction

-General Henry Halleck in the town of Westernville, New York
-General George McClellan in the town of Orange, New Jersey
-President Abraham Lincoln in the town of Springfield, Illinois
-Secretary of War Edwin Stanton in the town of Steubenville, Ohio
-Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles in the town of Glastonbury, Connecticut
-Senator Charles Sumner in the city of Boston, Massachusetts
-Representative Thaddeus Stevens in the town of Danville, Vermont
-Senator Benjamin Wade of Ohio in the town of Springfield, Massachusetts
2. May 9th, the day that the First Atlasian Civil War was over shall become a regional holiday and celebrated as Victory Day.

So, this amendment strikes McClellan from the list and moves to honor a few Radical Republicans who fought hard to ensure that Reconstruction was done properly (unfortunately they didn't succeed), but we can still honor their efforts.


24 hours to object

Excellent additions! I'd also suggest Frederick Douglass of Rochester, New York.

So, this amendment adds a few abolitionists and a few people who pushed anti-slavery policies during the pre-War period, 24 hours to object

[Lambsbread]

I am generally not in favor of erecting statues of anyone--rather, I believe they belong in museums instead of on public land. That being said, I am fully in favor of erecting statues of Sumner, Douglass, Tubman, and some of the others on S019's list. Though I especially would like the Thaddeus Stevens statue erected in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
