Yet in recent weeks in bucolic Williamsburg, Virginia, archaeologists have found their own mass grave. It is a graveyard that they believe is associated with the Civil War’s Battle of Williamsburg, fought in 1862. There in the peaceful soil of Williamsburg, the remains of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of soldiers lie buried. Some wore the gray of the Confederacy. Some wore the blue of the Union.
The two sides contributed to a general casualty list that amounted to 3,800 killed and wounded. The battle must have been somewhat like the bloody Second Battle of Bull Run, in which each army lunged at the other, bayonets unsheathed, rifles being fired at point-blank range. Somehow a fire broke out, engulfing both forces. It must have been a horrid conflict. Yet if the Union was to be saved, the war had to be fought, and for the ultimate integrity of our democracy, the North had to win.
Now, however, the monuments to only one side remain, and many of the ignoramuses who are tearing down monuments have their eyes on Union leaders, too, whose reputations they sully with the slander of racism. There was racism, to be sure, on both sides in times past, and there were other forms of intolerance: religious intolerance, ethnic intolerance, intolerance of immigrants. Intolerance is still around today, and it is being taught in the nation’s classrooms.
OpEd CORRECTION: Tearing down statues honoring (white) traitorous Confederate leaders and heroes — and other (white) bigots and criminals who escaped suitable punishment — is absolutely appropriate. The truth shall set you free.
