So should there then be a monument to Benedict Arnold at Lafayette Square and West Point be named after him? After all as you say "good or bad, it's still our history." There's just that pesky little thing he did called treason, and that is what these Confederates this monument honors did as well.

@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888Didn't the land once belong to Robert E. Lee? I thought he started it as a grave site for VA Confederate Soldiers. Either way, it was long ago and I feel our history should remain intact.
@@JeanetteFaith Perhaps you should actually read some history on the subject. The land did belong to Lee, but the United States seized it during the war and General Meigs decided to use it as a grave site for American war dead. This was done so that Lee would never be able to reside there again. So Arlington National Cemetery wasn't started by Lee as a "grave site for VA Confederate Soldiers," but instead by the United State to honor American Soldiers. And just because something was long ago doesn't mean that monuments to traitors should stay. In fact, if you truly want our history to remain intact then this monument which not only honors traitors, but promotes the false narrative of the Lost Cause of the Confederacy, desecrated the policy that Meigs had when he ran Arlington for decades after the Civil War of not permitting Confederate monuments there, and was opposed by the Grand Army of the Republic (an American Civil War veteran association) to it, should be torn down. We do not need to honor traitors to keep our history intact. If this is so necessary then let us rename West Point and put a statue in Lafayette Square to the great hero of the Battle of Saratoga. A general whose greatness would ring throughout American history if not for that pesky thing he did called treason against the United States, and that is why Benedict Arnold's name means treason in America.

The one of General Lee in Richmond was given to the Slave Museum and melted down, immediately before the Court cases to save it for the Confederacy Museum could be brought to a point where an injunction could be issued, the statue was the joint property of several families in Richmond not the State as a prevention of destruction measure.

@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 The statue was a monument to "reconciliation" after the war. Brother fought against brother in that war and the country was in great need of healing. It's our history, like it or not.
@@lg-nw2wp The monument wasn't one to reconciliation, but to glorify the lost cause of the Confederacy as evidenced by the inscription on it.

The Latin translates to The Victorious Cause was Pleasing to the Gods, But the Lost Cause Pleased Cato. Thus the monument makes clear what it truly stands for, and it isn't about reconciling and healing wounds of brother against brother.
At one point in time, a group of people put that memorial together for a reason. It would be disrespectful to take it down because you don't agree with it. Just like it would be to take down the tomb of the unknown because someone doesn't agree with it.
What if it was disrespectful to put the monument up in the first place? How long should we allow that disrespect to remain on display? 100 years? More? It's had it's time, and now at this point in time it has been removed from that place.

Your reference to the Tomb of the Unknown makes no sense because it honors Americans who served this country, and whose remains were never recovered or identified while the Confederate Memorial honored traitors. This isn't about agreement, but about treason. And these traitors are getting the same monument that George Washington gave Benedict Arnold, the hero of Saratoga, for his treason against this nation and that is none.

@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 Sounds fine to me.. if your go back and read the conversations of the day 1890s. That is the way they described the Late Great laminations. Both sides did agree then. Way before the Invasion of the Nation by the Marxists drivel..like Alinsky...... Cloward,- Piven.
@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 It is still our HISTORY! Did you know the FIRST slave owner in America was a black man in VA?????? Google it. There were over 4,000 black slave owners and several were Native American slave owners. We need to leave history alone.
REMOVAL? What do you mean removal?
It did not fit with the Current American Marxist Out look...
Picked up, broken, taken out of the area and no longer in it's present location.
Leave Arlington alone😡.
Keep Our Statues, they are part of our history good/bad. Can't wait until FJB IS OUT OF THE PEOPLES HOUSE🤬🤬
Why should the United States build and maintain monuments to people who are traitors?
This is wrong 😢
Thank you so much for sharing. As a veteran, it was so very heart-warming to see all of those wreaths.
What does it take to remove a Memorial? I'm glad this one was stopped.
@@lotsoffun4716 The court is just dealing with a legal challenge, but Congress ordered it removed and that is well within the power of Congress.
Congress ordered the removal of this memorial.
@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 No. Someone else told me it was done by a Democrat Commission that had nothing to do with Congress. The funny thing is, these Confederate Soldiers were Democrats during the Civil War. We need to quit erasing our History. I am amazed that so few Americans know history. Example: The FIRST slave owner in America was a Black Man in VA. We need to learn from history and not erase it.
@@lotsoffun4716 It was done by a bi-partisan commission that Congress established as part of the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act. Therefore, it is Congress that is ultimately ordering the removal of the memorial.
You say that "we need to quit erasing our history," but this monument to Confederates itself erases history. It promotes the Lost Cause of the Confederacy and celebrates treason against the United States. And your continued reference the first slave owner in America has no bearing on whether this monument should be removed.
We call the hedge apples Osage oranges in Missouri. Interesting to see them at Arlington.
Same in Indiana
What the hell is happening to America? They going to remove Lee Mansion too?
The Lee Mansion is staying there.
@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 Thank god! Although wouldn't put it past Democrat's.
@@Pius-XI Why? The mansion has exceptional historic value from the fact that it was built by Washinton's step-grandson George Washington Custis and is a former plantation mansion. It isn't Democrats that are into deleting history, but Republicans who are. For example, these Confederate monuments Republicans are mad about being taken down delete actual American history in favor of promoting the Lost Cause of the Confederacy and celebrate traitors to this nation.
Very nice tour, thanks for doing all that hiking for us!
As it was cloudy up here in NW PA, I see it was very beautiful skies of sun and a few low clouds amongst the blustery weather there. Blustery weather up here to but with clouds and flurries.
I enjoy this tour of the cemetery and its history with the landmarks, cannons, memorials, etc...
I really enjoyed this one. Thank you for the long walk.
Thank you! We love your channel! Greetings from NH
I so enjoy watching and listening to you. You present the facts only. Thank you for showing this for so many will never see in person.
My dad wrote a story called "The Big Tree" about his childhood and the tree that was across the street from his house. Part of his description of the tree:
The Big Tree was a bodark, or bois d’arc, or osage orange, or orangewood or horseapple tree. The names reflected the color of the cortical wood, its suitability for making archery bows and the size and color of its seeds.

Removing those monuments is insanity.
Building monuments to traitors is insanity.
@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888Didn't the land once belong to Robert E. Lee? I thought he started it as a grave site for VA Confederate Soldiers. Either way, it was long ago and I feel our history should remain intact.
@@JeanetteFaith Perhaps you should actually read some history on the subject. The land did belong to Lee, but the United States seized it during the war and General Meigs decided to use it as a grave site for American war dead. This was done so that Lee would never be able to reside there again. So Arlington National Cemetery wasn't started by Lee as a "grave site for VA Confederate Soldiers," but instead by the United State to honor American Soldiers.
And just because something was long ago doesn't mean that monuments to traitors should stay. In fact, if you truly want our history to remain intact then this monument which not only honors traitors, but promotes the false narrative of the Lost Cause of the Confederacy, desecrated the policy that Meigs had when he ran Arlington for decades after the Civil War of not permitting Confederate monuments there, and was opposed by the Grand Army of the Republic (an American Civil War veteran association) to it, should be torn down.
We do not need to honor traitors to keep our history intact. If this is so necessary then let us rename West Point and put a statue in Lafayette Square to the great hero of the Battle of Saratoga. A general whose greatness would ring throughout American history if not for that pesky thing he did called treason against the United States, and that is why Benedict Arnold's name means treason in America.
@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 Then why are Confederate soldiers buried there?
I think it's just silly to remove history. I've been there and I like it and hope it remains. They were not traitors. They were fighting for State's Rights.
It seems that you would also say that Ukraine should still be part of the USSR. lol...
@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888P.S. I travel often. Look at the southern states compared to most northern states. Northern states and California have out-of-control crime and filth everywhere. Might have been nicer if the South had won. just sayin'..........
Tearing memorials down in a historic cemetery- can we sink any lower than this !
This is a historic cemetery that was established for American heroes, and in the decades after it was policy at Arlington to not have monuments to Confederates nor to decorate their graves on Decoration Day (now known as Memorial Day).
Hedge Apples are also known as Osage Oranges.

@@heidiw8406 Because George Washington wasn't a traitor to the United States. As to Arlington that land was taken via eminent domain from a traitor.
It is a temporary injunction, but the law that provided for this was done by Congress, and Congress was well within its power to do so.

Hi Sir John Dill. Thank you for your service.
So beautiful. You practically had the place to yourself. The Unknown ceremony is especially beautiful
Thanks for ya nice info videos about real life goings on in & around Washington DC.
Thanks for showing.
What is done with these statues, once taken down, are they stored or destroyed…? Just curious…Love your video, see soooo much..👌
They melted down the gorgeous Gen Lee statue.
The one of General Lee in Richmond was given to the Slave Museum and melted down, immediately before the Court cases to save it for the Confederacy Museum could be brought to a point where an injunction could be issued, the statue was the joint property of several families in Richmond not the State as a prevention of destruction measure.
Democrat GOVERNOR Siezed it and turned it over to the Slave Museum.
Many statues across the East have had similar fates..
What a disgrace!
akes me furious. I believe if they are successful (which I hope not) then it's being moved to a Virginia cemetery by Glen Younkin
@@ablewindsor1459 Yep.
Thanks for the walk through, this perspective reminds one that the Confederate Memorial was in a vast sacred place and should've been left alone, history nor hell will be kind to those responsible for this action.
This was a monument that honored traitors to this nation, and they killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. It should never have been put up in the first place as it was a disgrace to all the Americans who died in the Civil War. Furthermore, it actually erased American history by advancing the false narrative of the Lost Cause of the Confederacy.
Hopefully President Trump will thru executive decision have all our statues put back in their place.
But the same Commission has changed the Names of Six Army Bases......
And just this week the Names of several buildings at the Local Veterans Administration Hospital were also Changed.
He tried to save them, but Congress overrode his veto. Therefore, it is by law that these statues are coming down and a Trump executive decision wouldn't be able to stop it. Especially since this is the last major monument that the military is dealing with regarding traitors.
We lost more Confederate statues under Trump than any other president, the only one he saved was Albert Pike, his masonic brotherhood
Why don’t they leave crap alone
Why do you support a monument to traitors?
@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 quit commenting,on my stuff your annoying me ,,and Arlington is a sacred place no matter what ,,it was put there and should remain ,
@@Alltheglory-gg1oe So in your mind this "sacred place" should honor traitors that killed hundreds of thousands of American soldiers and sailors.
So should the sacred place of West Point be renamed the Benedict Arnold Military Academy? After all he was a great American general who won the Battle of Saratoga. He just had that little pesky treason thing of trying to give West Point to the British and joining their army as a General.
Very beautiful far away view from top of steps there.
Thank you for the tour. So sad if it happens. It is disturbing. I can't take much more of this nonsense.
What is disturbing is that a memorial to traitors that killed hundreds of thousands of American soldiers and sailors is even there in the first place.
Leave Arlington alone😡
Thank you for this tour.

We call them Osage orange
Also "Horse Apples"..
What a shame they would even consider removing a part of history. People get offended over anything and everything.
So should we rename West Point after Benedict Arnold and put a statue of him at Lafayette Square? The reality is that this is monument that honors traitors to this country and promotes the Lost Cause of the Confederacy.

Shameful
A monument to traitors is shameful.
@@trapdoorspringfieldmodel1888 The statue was a monument to "reconciliation" after the war. Brother fought against brother in that war and the country was in great need of healing. It's our history, like it or not.
@@lg-nw2wp The monument wasn't one to reconciliation, but to glorify the lost cause of the Confederacy as evidenced by the inscription on it. That inscription says, "TO OUR DEAD HEROES BY THE UNITED DAUGHTERS
OF THE CONFEDERACY VICTRIX CAUSA DIIS PLACUIT SED VICTA CATONI." The Latin translates to The Victorious Cause was Pleasing to the Gods, But the Lost Cause Pleased Cato. Thus the monument makes clear what it truly stands for, and it isn't about reconciling and healing wounds of brother against brother.
At one point in time, a group of people put that memorial together for a reason. It would be disrespectful to take it down because you don't agree with it. Just like it would be to take down the tomb of the unknown because someone doesn't agree with it.
What if it was disrespectful to put the monument up in the first place? How long should we allow that disrespect to remain on display? 100 years? More? It's had it's time, and now at this point in time it has been removed from that place.
This was a monument that honored traitors to this nation, and they killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. It should never have been put up in the first place as it was a disgrace to all the Americans who died in the Civil War, but 109 years later and we are finally righting a terrible wrong.
Your reference to the Tomb of the Unknown makes no sense because it honors Americans who served this country, and whose remains were never recovered or identified while the Confederate Memorial honored traitors. This isn't about agreement, but about treason. And these traitors are getting the same monument that George Washington gave Benedict Arnold, the hero of Saratoga, for his treason against this nation and that is none.
I’m very upset considering my great grandfather’s house is still located on the property. Time for action.

No! this is OUR HISTORY
So should we then put up a statue of Benedict Arnold in Lafayette Park and rename West Point after him? After all he is part of as you say "our history," but the reality is that he is a traitor just as the Confederates this memorial honors are. So I say give these Confederates the same monument that Benedict Arnold gets and that is none.
Thank you for recording for posterity.
Any updates on this?
Amen! Its our history and the majority of us want the monuments left aone. Our kids need to know our true history!!
The Confederates fought against the United States, and that was an act of treason. So why should they be giving a monument celebrating what they did? Instead, falling true history they should be given the same monument that George Washington gave Benedict Arnold and that is none.
The mic sounded great. Hardly any wind noise at all. Is it the mic or a new dead cat? That will leave some people wondering.

It's actually very beautiful with the reefs. Thanks for sharing this footage. Great video. I'm not a Southern Army fan. But those losers were American citizens who fought too. In the last civil war. They are baried thier, thier kin paid for the monument. It should stay.
