After the deadly protests and counter-protests over the removal of General Robert E. Lee's statue in Charlottesville, Baltimore's city council voted for the removal and destruction of confederate statues in Baltimore on Monday, August 14, 2017. The following day in the middle of the night.

(WATCH) Memorials taken down in Baltimore were

•  the Confederate Soldiers and Sailors Monument on Mount Royal Avenue
• the Confederate Women’s Monument on West University Parkway
• the Roger B Taney Monument on Mount Vernon Place
• the Robert E Lee and Thomas J “Stonewall” Jackson Monument in the Wyman Park Dell 

Baltimore wasn't the only place in America to have confederate monuments taken down after the Charlottesville attack.   In Gainesville, Florida, the Daughters of the Confederacy removed a statue of Confederate soldier “Ole Joe”, and in Durham, North Carolina protesters forcibly pulled down a Confederate monument with rope (where 4 people were arrested).

President Trump commented on the removal of historic monuments

 “This week it’s Robert E Lee. I notice that Stonewall Jackson’s coming down,”  “I wonder, is it George Washington next week, and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You know you really do have to ask yourself, where does it stop?”
