The border between the Arizona and New Mexico territories used to be E-W instead of N-S and the southern part was Arizona. There was at least one Civil War battle in old AZ, a few in old NM.
There’s a Jefferson Davis Memorial highway in AZ. That’s sum BS there.

Yes. A great prank.
Does anyone know where Irasdad was when this occurred?
BTW Should we now adopt tar and feathers as our weapon of choice for Confederate statues? Could be fun.

Note that applying tar to rock, concrete or metal does not actually damage them in anyway. It takes a bit of effort to remove, but steam cleaning is more than up to the job to completely remove said tar.
(They probably poured driveway or roofing patch on the monument, since this is by far the easiest way to “tar” something.)
So the question of “destruction”, wanton or otherwise, does not arise in this case.
A monument commemorating the
onlyfirst president of the Confederacy was vandalized with tar and feathers this week, a local Gold Canyon, Arizona TV station reported Thursday.
Fixed the lede in case nobody else did.
Well said, sir. Well said.
Now, how do we get rid of this false idol?
Can you imagine there being a lot of status in Germany and countries Germany occupied having statues to Hitler and his generals. Schools, roads and military based named in their honor. If you stop and think of it like that it’s fucking mind boggling.
Yeah, it would be. I’d say ‘only in America’, but the UK does weird things about both sides of their civil wars, too… of course, both sides of their civil wars eventually traded power back and forth within the Royal Family a few times before the next civil war…
… maybe it’s an anglo-saxon thing?
