By Ginny Bixby The (Charlottesville) Daily Progress CHARLOTTESVILLE — The statues of Confederate Gens. Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, as well as a one of Meriwether Lewis, William Clark and Shoshone interpreter Sacagawea, all were removed within a span of eight hours Saturday — capping a years-long effort by many to rid the city of the monuments. Erected over the course of five years, the three statues, all commissioned by Paul Goodloe McIntire and gifted to the city, stood for a century. Now, only their pedestals remain. The historic moment was subdued and peaceful, with dozens gathering on a warm, clear Saturday morning to watch the removals at Market Street and Court Square parks. Crews needed less than two hours to unscrew, remove and load each statue on a flatbed trailer.
