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.

Stupid!!!
Why remove what represents US HISTORY. Bad, good or indifferent it’s a part of history. Only through knowing what occurred can we prevent it from happening in the future. Use it as a teaching model of what occurred and how we have changed and grown.
That is Pure B******t .
This is our history. It should stay
stay
Leave it alone
This is our History!! Do not remove it!!
Complete and total b******t!!
Bring it to my house .
The statues remain … if removed they will be returned
