Queen of California 1883 - 2020

SACRAMENTO, Calif — The statue of Christopher Columbus and Queen Isabella was removed from the state Capitol's rotunda, July 7, 2020.

. 

The statue, called "Columbus' Last Appeal to Queen Isabella," was removed exactly three weeks after lawmakers announced they would take it out of the Capitol building.

"Christopher Columbus is a deeply polarizing historical figure given the deadly impact his arrival in this hemisphere had on indigenous populations," a joint statement from state Senate and Assembly leaders said. "The continued presence of this statue in California's Capitol, where it has been since 1883, is completely out of place today. It will be removed."

But was the removal of the statue for far left political reasons? A better look at history of events points to a 2020 era response to California's monarchy government that has been in effect disguised as a "Representive Democracy" since 1889. .

The statue, called "Columbus' Last Appeal to Queen Isabella," was gifted to the state by Darius Ogden Mills, a banker who made his money during the California Gold Rush.
