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.

Unbelievable
Robert E. Lee did more to unite America after the civil war than any of the others. This country is pandering to a certain group that has nothing to do except try and destroy our country.
This is American history and there is nothing offensive about it. Get over yourselves, you despicable liberal Bastards
LEAVE ROBERT E LEE ALONE !
You don’t like the south get your$#%&!@*out.
Leave the statue a lone
I am from PA, and I think that the Lee statue removal is b.s. Tired of all those who cave into all the PC whiners. He is a significant part of the history of ALL OF US!
Shameful
This is so WRONG!
Do these idiots even know that a Colonel Robert Edward Lee than of the United States Army led the assault on the Armory at Harpers Ferry Va. and captured John Brown? Being Politically Correct doesn’t make you historically correct. Only easily led!
