A Civil War marker on Moreau Drive depicting a moment when a Confederate general decided not to attack Jefferson City has recently become a point of contention in the community between those who say it is a piece of the Capital City’s history and those who say its facts are wrong and it promotes racism. Jefferson City government reporter Emily Cole explains how the future of the marker will be determined by city government.
