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.

This should never happen
Should not be removed
It’s our history leave it alone or pay the price for ignorance
America has gone crazy! Idiots want to re-write history! Soon we can say there was no civil war, or slavery as there will be no proof!
Leave our history alone it’s what made America.
Our country is not going to be America if we don’t put a stop to all of this
This should not be allowed, COWARDS are behind this.
I can’t understand why people want to remove these statues than are part of history, removing them will not erase history and 300K would help the community in better ways.
Snowflakes get their feeling hurt when they learn history.
Thank god jews and indians are more sensible in historical displaying!
Stop this. This is history. These people shaped our country. If you don’t like it tuff$#%&!@*
