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.

All the Fu*ING liberal hypocrites want to remove all signs of history
It’s a shame that your willing to hide the history of the United States of America to please a few maybe we should remove all memories of Martin Luther king cause it might offend 2 people
This is another attempt to rewrite history. Just because some may feel there were dark moments in our Country’s past is no reason to eliminate memorials our writings about it. It should be there always so it can always be remembered. How else will we learn from our past and prevent making the same mistakes again.
