NASHVILLE, Tennessee – The number of Tennesseans with Confederate combat registration plates reached its climax in a decade.

The Tennessean Cites Data from the Tennessee Department of Revenue Showing 3,273 Plates Benefiting From Confederate Veterans' Wives were active at the end of fiscal year 2018. That's the most number high recorded since the introduction of plates in 2004, as data are not available until 2008.

The Tennessee Division of Sons of Confederate Alumni received approximately $ 57,700 in plate revenue this year. Division Commander James Patterson says that he has helped fund the ongoing legal battle on the removal of Confederate statues in Memphis.

Democrats introduced a law to end the plaques as a result of the 2015 South Carolina Mbadacre. ] ___
