Columbia, South Carolina - Washington Statue Left Damaged To Show Yankee Evil

This bronze statue of George Washington holds a walking cane that has been broken and left broken. It was damaged by troops of Union General William Tecumseh Sherman, who threw chunks of brick at the monument. The troops were only supposed to destroy property that would aid the Confederate Government in war, and the South has preserved this vandalism as proof of Yankee evil.
