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.

Lois Ward, wish I had you in history class, your a idiot, that heard that b******t somewhere, lololol
Wow, the dumbing of America’s Youth! Slavery was just one issue of the war, but you don’t know that, taxation, federal land laws, ….etc.
It’s like they want people to forget so they can do it all over again.
Since they don’t want to accept the past history then that means that there was no slavery so what are they bitching about
no, aren’t we allowed to have anything to remind us of our history? Why is everything Southern considered raciest or offending?
why is everybody trying to erase our countries history sounds like the muslim isis they destory other countries monuments and religous artifacts
Then let’s start taking down Martin Luther King statues because that was a painful time in history also!!
More foolishness…
Right on George ! These idiots are trying to cover up the Civil War as if it never happened. It’s like denying that the holocaust never happened. This politically correct$#%&!@*has to stop!
Sad when in this country, a small group of easily butthurt whiners who get in a tizzy at the drop of a hat, can$#%&!@* scream and throw tantrums until they get their way. It’s sickening that our leaders bow down to them. We’re suppose to LEARN from history, not try to erase it because it hurts their little feelers. Candy asses.
What do you expect from a bunch of people who are so confused they don’t know which BATHROOM to use?
