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.

Buy a nice piece of land, Charleston would be good, turn it into a nice park and gather Confederate monuments from southern states for a Confederate memorial park.
What a shame. History is History period! If it’s your personal history or the Nation’s…what has happened has happened. If you want to remove all reminders of what was ugly, then let’s stop all this “because we was slaves” and move on, just like the statues, it should be removed…not used to haunt us white people any longer. Seems like a fair exchange…what say you?
How can you be so ignorant ???
Mother fuckers gotta complain about sumpin
This is our history you low life bastards !
That’s crazy, history being destroyed, they should make one of Jeb Stewart
They belong where they are!!
American History
Do we tear down the Washington monument because it is a monument to War
This is a crime Robert E Lee is apart of our history.
Leave it where it is
You can’t change history by removing statues or pictures. However hurtful the truth is, it is history.
Disgraceful
