(CNN) Supporters and opponents of the recent toppling of a Confederate monument in North Carolina turned out in Chapel Hill on Saturday to assert their stances. Seven arrests were made in connection to a gathering on McCorkle Place, the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill media relations office said. "Three arrests were for assault, the fourth for destruction of property and the fifth arrest for resisting an officer. The rival rallies came after 250 protesters knocked over the University of North Carolina's controversial "Silent Sam" Confederate statue at the school on Monday night. On Saturday people congregated at and near the spot where the statue was torn down, news footage showed.
