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.

You can’t erase history. It’s like burying your head in the sand.
Leave it
What gets me slavery wasn’t even what the war was about, Rhode island etc had slaves until Lincoln thought they were gonna lose the war, an Lincoln freed the slaves but Lincoln didn’t want to keep the slaves in America, he wanted to ship them back to Africa, but the rich an powerful saw they could have cheap labor, the war was mainly fought over were the business would be handled, northern rich people were mad, that the South handled it’s own cotton an timber sales threw Savannah, they wanted a world trade threw new york city were it’s today,
So very sad.
Hell No!!
Sad! We are to learn from history! If you remove it all and deny it existed, it will happen again! Boy, someone sure has y’all wrapped around their finger! Be careful it isn’t the middle one!
Sad when history loses out to political (in)correctness.
It’s History, live with it!
So much for our heritage
Crazy.
