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.

America we must stop them from destroying our history, even in our schools American history is not being taught, Satan’s plan
That’s shameful.
It would be politically correct to keep all signs of the Confederacy since they denote a political period of our history.
It was an era when we were developing different ideas in regards to freedom for all within our borders.
You should look at this period as one of growth!
Why destroy history? What will remind you not to repeat this history? Can we not learn from this?
Is this intolerance?
Is this hatred?
Who is pushing this agenda?
This is frightening to me! A few shout and bully and we give in?
Let us use some thought in making these decisions to create a vacuum in our history.
Wtf, leave it alone
Stop trying to erase history. It’s already so sad that generations to come will not be able to read any of our documents. They will probably think it’s some kind of foreign language and destroy them to. Moving closer to Obama’s one World Order.
This is so crazy, how could this be happening????
Leave it alone !!
This is ridiculous!
That is b******t you don’t take a statue down of Robert E Lee
Truly a shame! Why are we letting foreigners come in and take away everything that means our past because they don’t like it? We need to wake up and stand up for ourselves and the things that we and our ancestors thought needed preserving!!
