Well lets just build another freaking statue for crying out loud. We'll give out another 200,000 bucks and make sure the artists skin color doesn't offend anyone.

The British raided Charlottesville and almost captured all the Virginia delegation and Thomas Jefferson. A man named Jack Jouett rode all night to warn Jefferson of the British coming. Jefferson escaped just in time out the back door and the British on the front lawn...
The British Cavalry was commanded by Banastre Tarleton, the notorious butcher.
