Wasn't this on land given to the state on condition they respect the statue?

They are "respectfully" and carefully removing it, instead of toppling it down like the huge Saddam Hussein statue back in 2003.

"This is all my fault."
- Robert E. Lee, between bouts of diarrhea, after losing 23,000 of his troops in a battle he lost

It is said, that at the Battle of Gettysburg, some of Lee's top generals pleaded with him not to initiate the head-on attack, through open ground, towards the Union's center. It was bad tactics/strategy, it would involve an enormous amount of death and casualties, and it would fail (which is exactly what happened).
