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.
Read about the latest Robert E. Lee statue to fall on the next page:
General Robert E. LEE WAS A FINE GENTLEMAN AND A PATRIOT. IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO DECIDE TO TAKE THE CONFEDERACY’S SIDE, BUT HE FOUGHT FOR HIS STATE AND THE SOUTH. BECAUSE THE SOUTH LOST THE WAR, THE NORTH CONTINUES TO PUNISH AND DEMEAN THEIR SOUTHERN COUNTRYMEN AND WOMEN. THIS IS SHAMEFUL!
Leave these monument alone it is history they are long gone but removing the statue is like erasing history. It is what make this country what it is those who do not learn their history are doomed to repeat it. It’s part of the southern heritage and there are still families who can be hurt by removing their ties to their hermitage.
Well said…
What is wrong with you people its part of history leave it alone
These bastard liberals better leave that statue alone
So then can we remove black lineage from america. Like all of them. Why not they’re a controversial subject. If you don’t like people remembering important figures in history that shaped this country then you need to go where it’s more to your liking. May I suggest 180 miles east of North carolina…
No no no!!!
Fucking idiots! Who do they think they are? It angers and saddens at the same time, as this is part of our history, good and bad. Now theyre deemed offensive? The only thing offensive are the dolts that think taking them down is going to change anything. Bunch of pussies that cant handle the truth about anything. A bunch of limp wristed wimps! Fucking grow up!
