If the inscription refers to the Anderson Division of Hills Corps of the Florida Infantry, then our comment would be the following.

this inscription be

This inscription might be considered "controversial" by a number of Americans because it only refers to the 1st Florida Infantry Regiment that was formed by the Confederate state of Florida in times of the Civil War. Along with the 3rd Regiment, they fought in Tennesse as part of the battles fought in the American Civil War.

The inscription does not consider the black soldiers of the Union Army that were also killed in the battle site, so that is why people, in this tumultuous times of change, consider the inscription controversial.

Answer:

Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been noted that over seven southern states in the US have passed laws to makes it difficult for people to remove statues considered to be confederate monuments. Protesters and public officials have made different attempts to remove these public objects that have been perceived to be symbols of Racism in the United States of America.

The issue is an aftermath of the civil war that happened in the United State in 1861 after several decades of tensions that happened between the southern and northern states over the rights of states, slavery and the westward expansion.
