Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced plans to restore and reinstall the Confederate Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery by 2027, reversing its 2023 removal. He argues this is about preserving history — but critics say it glorifies the Confederacy and whitewashes slavery.
On this episode of The Diamond K Show, we break down what’s really at stake:
-
Why the Arlington Confederate Monument was removed in the first place
-
Hegseth’s $10 million restoration plan
-
The political and cultural battle over how America remembers the Civil War
-
Why supporters call it “heritage” — and why historians call it “pro-slavery”
💬 What do you think? Should these monuments return to public spaces — or belong in museums and archives with proper context?
