I agree with that. I am tired of public funds being spent on projects that
are really only of interest to some small segment of American society. I
think we need another memorial to slavery like we need a memorial to
prohibition...another bad American idea that we should forget.
Suggesting that Fortress Monroe is as historically significant as
Jefferson's Monticello is just a further insult to the man along the lines of unproven
and unproveable allegations of miscegenation with a slave girl.

Sounds like a perfect project for raising private funds from those who deem
it of great historic significance, and not wasting public funds.
