The group portrayed the chair's theft as a way to highlight America's slave-owning past.

?America's original sin is that people were kidnapped from their homes and forced to build one of the most prosperous nations in the world, without being allowed to participate in it. And then we had to fight a war to end the practice. We decided, in the spirit of such ignominious traditions, to kidnap a chair instead," read one of the group's notes.

The next email included photos of someone wearing military garb posing on a chair that looked like the missing one with a hole in the seat resembling a potty. A final email said that chair was a fake and the real chair was being returned unscathed.

Then, miles away in New Orleans, the chair was found and three people arrested.

Pat Godwin, who heads the UDC's Selma Chapter, is adamant that whoever stole the chair are not ?folk heroes.?

?I hope there is some remnant left of civilization left in this country," she said. ?No one has any common sense. The rule of law is gone with the wind.?

 

 

The theft comes as Confederate statues and other artifacts of that era are being removed, by vote or by crowd, around the country as part of a reckoning with the country's slave-owning history.

In this case, police found the chair April 9 near a railroad overpass in New Orleans. Resident Donald Oliver had gotten up early to walk his dogs and saw the commotion as police gathered.

?The first thing I thought ? grave robbers,? he said. When police loaded it into a truck he recognized that it was an ornamental chair. He heard it was connected to Jefferson Davis but it was not until later that he learned it came all the way from Alabama.

?And it winds up in the 9th Ward of New Orleans. That's crazy," he said shaking his head.

White Lies Matter said they told police and the UDC where the chair could be found. Court documents suggest someone with knowledge of the theft tipped off authorities to information that helped them make arrests.
