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.

Ethnic Cleansing.
Robert E Lee statue keep he is part of history
This is our history! You can’t just pretend it didn’t happen by removing a statue. These are reminders of where we came from and how we changed. It matters.
ABSOLUTELY STUPID
What is going on in the USA,People are going crazy.Leave our history as it is.People think they have to kiss butts all the time.
Our history cannot be erased!
I’m just amazed that anyone wants to erase history. It serves as a reminder for all to reflect on and discuss. If bad, its serves to educate and not repeat. If good, it is something to be proud of. It’s like the US Forest Service who burns old historic cabins in the backcountry for no logical reason. History erased and gone up in smoke. Why?
Robert E. LEE was a Civil War General…that is a historical fact removing his statue will not change that….
