Unfortunately, it was removed a couple years ago.

But the Confederate Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery is coming down. So that's nice.

Which sucked that they pulled it down, cause holy fuck was it hilarious watching that thing get vandalized. Pride colors was always a classic go to.

Sadly, there's still a giant carving honoring the Confederacy on a big cliff in Atlanta for all to see. 90 feet tall. And it was definitely part of their heritage because it was completed in... 1972.
