The biggest stone carving in the world is not Mt. Rushmore, the South Dakota granite monument bearing the faces of four extraordinary American presidents, including the one who won the Civil War.
The biggest of them all is Stone Mountain, in a state park in Georgia, where three figures, nine stories tall -- Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson, and Dixie President Jefferson Davis – gaze out upon the terrain of the Old South.
And the Atlanta chapter of the NAACP wants Georgia to sandblast them off the side of the mountain.
