The bodies of a famous Civil War general and his wife are set to be exhumed from a Tennessee park less than three years after a statue memorializing the officer was torn down.
The decision to move the resting place of Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest and his wife from Health Sciences Park in Memphis came after the Sons of Confederate Veterans dropped a lawsuit challenging the move Tuesday.
For the group, dropping the lawsuit has secured the statue of Forrest as well as other parts of deconstructed memorial structures.
"The details got worked out to everyone’s satisfaction, so there was no need to continue the lawsuit," Sons of Confederate Veterans spokesman Lee Millar told WREG.

The extent of liberal INSANITY is just unfathomable. A "history-free safe space"?!?! Next thing, snowflakes will want to exhume every confederate soldier and do WHAT with the remains? A bonfire? This is just pure insanity...
