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.

Obama started what the Russians and Germans did when the country became empires!
Just like ISIS trying to erase history , Democrats and BLM ARE ONE AND THE SAME!
At what point does this stop…
Who is pushing this political correctness B.S.? We are a free country and these statues are a part of this countries history. Forget political correctness. It is not in the constitution or amendments. No power for it. Who is authorizing this work? It should be illegal without the authorization of the State legislators.
Leave it alone!!!
You cannot erase history. This is so dumb.
we can’t even tour and see history becuse modern generation has not been taught to know what happened
We can’t rewrite history. We must try to write a better history for tomorrow
That’s ridiculous!
This is history. Let it be.
