The Trump administration removed materials from Arlington National Cemetery that criticized a former monument to Confederate soldiers for its romanticized depiction of slavery, the latest in its campaign to drastically change the representation of the Civil War in high-profile public spaces.
In recent weeks, crews reportedly removed text at the former site of the Confederate Monument, which had described the statue that once stood at the site as presenting a “nostalgic, mythologized vision of the Confederacy, including highly sanitized depictions of slavery.”
