Original Note:
The monument is not 109 years old. It was in fact constructed in 1914. It was to court Southern voters and advocated for by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. To clarify, the removal is not a whimsical Biden action but the result of the 2021 Defense Authorization Act https://ggwash.org/view/91892/massive-monument-to-falsified-confederate-history-soon-to-leave-arlington
