Saw a Civil War reenactment out here, and actually got tears when they went into battle. They don't leave character, and the medical treatment afterwards, to use the term very loosely, was also depicted as realistically as possible.
Jefferson's letter can be read here. I'm not sure at what point the Federal Establishment Clause came to apply to state legislatures, but it must have been after this letter.
I still believe that if someone told Jefferson that a memorial cross on city property was a violation of the Federal Constitution, he'd probably just stare at you.
You have a real issue dealing with the extremists where you live, and I've never argued that point. There's a lot of this on the other side, too. Some librarians can't keep "Huckleberry Finn" on the shelves, and in too many universities, "free speech" is what the Left decides it ought to be. The term "politically correct" was invented for a reason.
