US Capitol



  • House Will Vote on Bill to Remove Confederate Statues from Capitol

    The bill would remove from public view monuments to figures associated with the Confederacy or the causes of slavery and white supremacy that motivated it, including a bust of Chief Justice Roger Taney, author of the notorious Dred Scott decision. 



  • Confederates in the Capitol

    by William Hogeland

The whole federal government approved.
