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:
Reminds me of the Muslim terrorists blowing up statues in Afghanistan that were hundreds of years old.A very small percentage of southerners owned slaves.They just didn’t like being told what to do by the federal government.
That’s exactly what happened in Louisville Kentucky, the liberal Mayor Greg Fisher took down a civil war memorial that had been in place for more than fifty years to apease a small number of people that said it offended them, however there is another memorial that is still standing that also should come down, that honors a bunch of liberals!
Fucking b******t
As a relative of general Lee This pisses me off.
So sad that history continues to be assulated to apease some people. It’s history, it can’t be changed. To totally take this time period out and sanitize it is not right. These pieces of history reminds us of the dark side of people. Lee main reason for siding with the south, he believed in state’s rights over a federal government’s rights to dictate.
Not right to remove history
