Madison Mulls What To Do With Civil War Monuments

Madison city officials face big decisions about the future of Civil War monuments.  Mayor Paul Soglin wants at least one removed, saying it glorifies the Confederate cause and the ones being honored committed treason.  The U-S Daughters of the Confederacy built the memorial in Forest Hill Cemetery.  Most of those who spoke at a Tuesday public meeting said they want to make sure the city respects the 140 prisoners of war who died in Madison, no matter what cause they were fighting for.  It is possible the city could actually add monuments to explain the Civil War and how Madison was involved.
