SALISBURY, Md. – The marker for Confederate General John Winder in downtown Salisbury was removed Friday morning.

According to Mayor Jake Day, this move comes after three years of lobbying, two petitions, and a documentary.

“A monument to a treasonous murderer who never once set foot in our city, planted on the site of the second to last lynching in Maryland – and the doorstep of the halls of justice – is finally gone,” Day said on his Facebook page.

Day went on to thank Bob Culver and Wicomico County administration for this move.
