Pretty ironic this happening in Virginia. Washington, Lee (all the Lees), and Jefferson would be rolling in their graves.
One of Robert E. Lee's reasons for turning down Lincoln was basically, "I am a Virginian, and this is what we do"
Jefferson's famous "Blood of tyrants" quote was from a letter he wrote regarding Shay's rebellion.
He basically said, "It doesn't matter even if the people are wrong, every 20 years someone should rise up and rebel just to remind the government we will. We can tell them why they are wrong later."
