What is the largest city that didn’t buckle to the anti-confederate trends?

A lot of cities decided to remove their confederate monuments and other pieces of history that remember it. What are the bigger ones that didn’t?

I think Alexandria has kept its Confederate monument in front of the Rapides Parish Courthouse, despite pressure from outside agitators to remove it.

Why is it called a civil war then?

It's different if your side wins. CSA lost, you know... like losers

I bet you beat off to Wright Thompson pieces with your other self-loathing Southerner friends.

Brandon, MS, but it's not a large city.

Port Gibson, MS. The blackest town in the blackest county in the United States. Still has a Confederate statue in the circle in front of City Hall.
To be honest I'm not sure they really even know what it is

How is it "your side" if you weren't alive in the 1860's?
If you had been, you would have seen that the people who fought in the War Between the States treated each other with respect and congeniality after the cessation of hostilities. Yes, national reconciliation had its peaks and valleys, there was lingering hostility/animosity, and there were plenty of injustices that occurred during the Reconstruction Era.
However, reconciliation did occur and the country was unified enough that when the world wars came about in the 20th Century, the southern states did not resist a draft/participation the way the French-Canadians/the Province of Quebec did (an example for illustrative purposes only).
People today that are venting their spleen about the Confederacy, southerners, or Civil War generals/historical figures are using them as a proxy to hate on their contemporary political components and/or southern whites.

Grant said it was too beautiful to burn.

Glad you've set the bar.
So now do we get to start destroying the monuments to Indians?
Burn down the Alamo?
Drop some MOABs on Thermopylae?
Why do I get the feeling you are Gung-ho for the losers in Gaza...can't have that. Hope you are consistent

Jeff Davis Parish is thankfully still JDP.

Charleston (at least for the most part)? Some of the attractions have added new things to interpret the experience of the enslaved, but most of the war era forts are either preserved or at least memorialized with markers. The crew of the Hundley sub are buried in a well marked grave within Magnolia Cemetery.
