Confederate monuments, including the naming of military bases after those who willingly served in the Confederate military, rewrites the history of the Civil War – the Confederacy tried to divide and dissolve the nation over support for slavery. It was an insurrection and the Confederates LOST. Keeping the name of confederate leaders on military bases celebrates white supremacy and fails to address the shameful legacy of the Confederacy.
Add your name to this petition calling on Congress to support a measure in the existing National Defense Authorization Act that will remove the names of Confederate leaders from military bases.
