One of the two statues representing Ohio in Congress鈥� Statuary Hall was removed last year because of its subject鈥檚 views on slavery.

With the current focus on the removal of Confederate statues, there are some questions about what happens to it now.

The statue of Democratic Gov. William Allen, who served from 1874 to 1876, represented Ohio in Statuary Hall starting in 1887. But Allen鈥檚 pro-slavery views led lawmakers to vote to replace the statue in 2012.

According to the , Allen was a vocal advocate of the United States' westward expansion and critic of Abraham Lincoln.

Last year it was moved to Chillicothe, where Allen died in 1879. Chillicothe Mayor Luke Feeney is also a Democrat, and he says the statue will stay at the Ross County Historical Society.

鈥淔rom being on display in the Capitol to a museum where it鈥檚 not as prominently displayed, it鈥檚 not as much of an honoring of the man as it is a reflection of our history," Feeney says.

Allen鈥檚 statue was replaced with one of inventor Thomas Edison, who was chosen in a statewide contest.
