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.

Sad! It’s men who fought for their beliefs right or wrong. It’s history why remove it?
why trash history…this statue is history…shame on those who do not stand for our history, teach it, preach it, and pass it from generation to generation so it can’t be bastardized by those who would chose political correctness over true history.
Shame on them. What is wrong with them? It’s HISTORY – you can’t hide it, or rewrite it by removing the statue
What a disgrace!
