The Confederate Women's Monument base is viewed in Bishops Square Park in Baltimore, Maryland, after being removed by the city on August 16, 2017 .
Confederate statues were removed overnight in Baltimore, Maryland, as a campaign to erase symbols of the pro-slavery Civil War South gathers momentum across the United States.
The removal of the Baltimore monuments came four days after clashes in Charlottesville, Virginia that stemmed from a rally called by white supremacists to protest plans to remove a statue of Lee from a public park.
