[States with the most Confederate memorials]( Nicole Caldwell [ States with the most Confederate memorials ]( [See full slideshow »]( Dozens of Confederate memorials around the United States were taken down on the heels of a 2015 shooting at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, that killed nine Black parishioners including the church’s pastor. Two years later, in defiance of plans to take down a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville, Virginia, hundreds of self-described neo-Nazis and white supremacists gathered for a “Unite the Right” rally. Clashes at that rally with counter-protesters peaked when a man drove his car into a crowd of counter-protestors, injuring 19 people and killing one woman named Heather Heyer. At the end of the August event, three were dead, dozens injured, and the ongoing debate over whether Confederate monuments ought to be protected or removed remained unresolved. The debate has gained renewed fervor in 2020 since the May 25 death of a Black man named George Floyd, who was killed when a white police officer kneeled on Floyd’s neck for eight minutes and 49 seconds. Protests in cities and small towns around the country and world have included acts of civil disobedience such as covering Confederate monuments in graffiti or toppling Confederate statues and other monuments perceived as symbols of oppression and slavery. Across the United States, pressure has mounted to take such monuments away and out of the public eye, with dozens of municipalities already taking action to do so. There remain more than 1,500 Confederate monuments in the U.S., according to the “Whose Heritage?” data project by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Stacker mined the SPLC’s research and ranked states according to which have the most Confederate memorials, including statues, parks, schools, streets, highways, or practically any structure which, in one way or another, honors a Confederate figure or the whole coalition of seceded states. The first half-dozen Confederate monuments went up as soon as the Civil War ended in 1865. From then until 1900, most years saw between two and six monuments go up. Then, installations surged: In 1911 alone, 49 Confederate monuments were erected around the country, according to the SPLC. 1911 also coincides with the peak of Jim Crow laws designed to disadvantage Blacks and perpetuate segregation. Other surges appear throughout the first half of the 20th century, with pronounced increases in Confederate monuments going up throughout the civil rights movement and smaller increases at the turn of the 21st century and immediately following the election of President Barack Obama in 2008. Various groups stand by claims that these memorials serve as important historical markers; others argue the memorials glorify white supremacists and ignore those who were hurt, enslaved, and killed by the scourge of racism in this country. Some historians suggest looking at how post-war Germany has handled its past: Concentration camps serve as museums that detail the horrors that occurred therein so people never forget what happened; with nary a Hitler or SS statue to be found. Instead, statues and monuments memorialize victims who were lost as well as those who survived. Keep reading to find out where the most Confederate monuments still stand, and to learn about recent debates over what to do with them.

By May 20, each state that had these stay-at-home orders had begun to lift restrictions. Most areas of the country were in Phase 2 of those reopenings by late June, with some even inching their way toward Phase 4. As Americans reemerge from their homes, the landscape looks a bit different depending on where you live. States and municipalities in most areas have adopted higher standards of cleanliness, maintained rules around social distancing, and required restaurants and bars to reopen at lower capacities. But the most obvious change in our daily lives is the omnipresence of masks—or, in some states, the lack thereof. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention currently recommends the use of face masks or cloth coverings in public places in order to help slow the spread of COVID-19. In fact, a study released June 12 from Texas A&M University found not wearing a face mask dramatically increased the chances of spreading COVID-19. Still, a nationwide decision has not been made; instead, rule-setting has been left up to individual states, counties, or cities. Stacker scoured various state government reports and reputable news sources to pull together the most up-to-date information about face mask rules in all 50 states. All information is current as of June 23, 2020. Do you know the rules in your state? Read on to find out whether or not face coverings are just a recommendation or a mandated requirement where you live.
