The Parks and Recreation Department found there are three Civil War-related monuments and eight historic markers on city property. Critics have questioned how the memorials would be removed and put in places such as museums or universities. "Some of them crossed the line a little bit, in terms of wishing me bodily harm, things like that," Brosche said. Broche asked the citys general counsel to determine what the laws are regarding the removal of monuments or perhaps put in others that tell the whole history of Jacksonville.
