Robert E. Lee's coat button found in time capsule under removed Confederate monument

A button that experts believe was from Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee’s dress coat and a strand of hair from his horse are among the items found inside adiscovered when workers removed the base of a Confederate monument from the grounds of the North Carolina state Capitol.

Workers found the time capsule while dismantling a 75-foot Confederate monument that stood on the state Capitol grounds for 125 years, Raleigh’s News & Observer reported Thursday. Time had taken its toll on the capsule, according to the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. There was rust on the metal box that held the contents, which the department said were “severely damaged by the elements.”, and a stone believed to be from Gettysburg. The capsule also contained newspapers from across the state.Gov. Roy Cooper had ordered the removal of that statue and others for safety reasons after protesters toppled other statues.

Following protests over the death of George Floyd, a Black man who died at the hands of police in Minneapolis, many Confederate monuments

and the communists and blm continued to desecrate America while we stood by and did nothing, soo sad

Melt it

What was not found under the toppled statue was racial justice, reason or the 4th estate which is missing and presumed dead.

Burn it

The Leftists should replace Robert E. Lee's monument with a monument for Jean-Claude Duvalier, nicknamed 'Baby Doc' Jean-Claude Duvalier represents today's Democratic Party.

downfall of statues\\

Did the time capsule have a note in that said “Put this statue back!”

Robert E. Lee lives matter

Wow! I wonder what's under the other Confederate statues! Let's find out!

more shit to lock away in a museum.

Even the people who erected it knew that some day it would be taken down - Button Lee's lips forever. Traitors should never be allowed to stand and we need to take the current one in the White House down too. He can have a button as well.

Must worship holy relic of the patron saint of treason and racism.

They HAVE to burn it!!!

It’s almost as if someone expected that statue to come down one day.

Trump found his new lapel pin.
