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.

How sad….. Totalitarianism mindset removes all history… that’s what’s occurring with intolerant progressives
Leave this statue where it is its been there for generations and hasn’t hurt anyone yet
This history do not remove
Robert E. Lee never had a slave. He said that 1 man owning another was against Gods laws. People need to learn the facts. The reason he took the commanding offer of the army of northern Virginia was honor. His mother told him from a young age that his honor was all he would ever have. But that’s something that is missing in America today.
It’s a crying shame that History is being destroyed in this manner. Liberal idiotic logig is destroying evetything they do not like as it relates to our heritage. I have ancesters that fought on both sides of the civil war. I do not hold any ill feelings towards any of them. History is what it is. Stop destroying it for future generstions.
Nothing wrong with that statue, its part of our history and Lee was a honored member of our Union Army at one time. Lots of brave Southerners died too.
It’s HISTORY people. To change it is to repeat it. Teach it and learn from it. Our heritage came at a price of human life. Please don’t disrespect it.
Liberals still trying there best to destroy America and the American history.
This is sad !
So stupid!
