The Confederacy has long been a controversial topic in the United States. While the state has long been associated with racism and slavery, many modern southerners view the Confederacy as an important part of southern heritage.
Until recently, relics of the Confederate States of America have been allowed throughout the south for historical purposes, but in today’s politically correct climate, many of those monuments have been forcibly removed.
Last year, statues of Robert E. Lee, the commander of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, were removed from locals parks in Virgina. The contractor who removed the statues found his Lamborghini torched in response.
Now, more statues of the former general are coming down across the state — at huge cost.

Denying, or hiding, history may stop letting people learn the lessons therefrom. Santayana has something to say about that!
Can’t they leave these history monuments alone, it is our history,It was what it was ,,face it and learn. What a shame.
History should be left alone.
They can always take them to my property in Alabama and place them! I’m a southern girl and I’m CERTAINLY NOT ASHAMED OF MY HISTORY!!!!! How disgusting Americans are about political correctness. May they look to God and accept history as it was and is!!!! Amen
