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.
Read about the latest Robert E. Lee statue to fall on the next page:
Try as you might, you can not change the truth in our history. Taking down statues proves that some people would rather live in ignorance than to understand ones roots. Good, bad or indifference, history is truth.
LET IT BE !!! If it were not for Robert E. Lee the war would have lasted years longer !!!!
We have become so ashamed of our history.. pretty soon they be burning books at the riots at universities like Berkley
Can they put it at his home in Arlington? They do have a terrible terrible governor in Virginia!
Don’t worry, when trump gets elected, he will shut down the communist shadow government.
Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it! Look at India, for example, the let the Muslims in, Hinduism destroyed. The Hindu’s were murdered or they converted or they became slaves. This is still going on today. The Muslim religion was once confined, but has now spread not only in Africa, but now to Europe. We have allowed them here. We need to learn from history, people.
Perfect
The local people in the cities and towns have to stop this kind of thing! By letting the liberals have their way our country shrinks. Stand up to them and fight this evil!
this is so sad
VERY TRUE JESSIE<<<
