This is one of those cases where i think if someone says that, it kind of makes sense to me. i don t know. in the old section of the cemetery many notable were laid to rest, such as edmund winston pettus, and congressman benjamin sterling. jefferson davis. nathan bedford here. grand master of the klan. this monument was erected and dedicated october 7, 2000. listen to the way they described this man. this monument stands as a testament about perpetual devotion and respect, one of the south s finest heroes. up next, the southern history that s not told in these monuments, the horrors of slavery and of lynchings.
