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.

Destroying history
That’s their plan
The Bible says do not destroy the landmarks!
Let it stand get over the stupid$#%&!@*kick grass over it and move on
Robert E Lee was a great man and leader and prejudices today should not detract from an honorable man’s service just because some soiled brats today are offended! By what??? Something they never knew or were injured by not them their fathers or their grandfather!
Bring it to my house bring all these statues to my house.
No. no no. That’s our history. Someone is on the winning side and someone on the losing side. It is history. Facts are history. Robert e Lee is the hero of the confederacy.
No he’s real history , he’s part of what built are country and you can’t hide it or cover it up ! I don’t care what liberals want the rest of the USA want history left alone !!
Just like removing the prisons that killed so many Jewish people wouldn’t change the fact and if it’s gone it’s easier for some to forget it. The Robert E. Lee statue should serve as a reminder of how many Americans lost their lives due to a big division in beliefs.
I can not believe a southern state would give in to these liberals idiots democrats. Maybe people will stop coming to your state then ,see how that works out for your tourist season. That is the southern heritage, and all you people want to do is take it away from us ! How long before you put something up for the Muslims!
