In September 2017, former Maryland state Del. Neil Parrott and former U.S. Rep. John Delaney were at odds over the fate of a Confederate statue at Antietam National Battlefield, reflecting a broader national debate on Civil War monuments.
Parrott, a Republican, fervently opposes removing the statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, while John Delaney, a Democrat, called for its removal.
