Activists gathered in front of the Douglas County Courthouse to call for the removal of a Confederate Statute and were immediately met with opposition.

The statute in question was erected in 1914, by the Douglasville Chapter of the United Daughter of the Confederacy. Meant to represent Douglas County heroes, the statute was moved to the courthouse in 1998.

...Toadsuck Georgia is in Douglas County. The current crowd of "citizens" is offended by it. IMHO, they shouldn't have moved out here if they didn't like it.

...now a note about the United Daughters of the Confederacy. They go about putting confederate flags on the graves of confederate soldiers who are buried in the county. There is a smaller and lesser know group of soldiers they put flags on. They are Union soldiers who were killed just west of Douglasville and the United Daughters put union flags on their graves as well. It's a respect thing.
