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.

Y ? ITS OUR HISTORY
The statue is not bothering anybody! It is a part of history! It is what it is!
Curse corrupt Mitch Landrieu…
You can’t erase history. You can remove statues, hide facts, lie, whatever, but history remains. These PC idiots are just fooling themselves. They’ve taken much of history out of the classrooms so guess next they will burn all the history books and think that will erase past happenings. But we still have word of mouth that will be hard to silence.
BS
You mean demoncrats
If she had an ounce of sense, she’d know that history is just that, history, and can’t be changed. She could change the future but what’s past is past and there’s no altering it.
Why? Lee lost yes, but his efforts are part of our history. Custer lost too, but there are many memorials to him. Better remove those!
Erasing America’s history whether bad or good is so wrong, How will our children and their children, etc learn mistakes from the past. 50 yrs from now children will not know who found America the civil war, fighting the British for control so many wars to be a free country It’s shameful, Maybe the Lord will come in the next 50 years and the world will be mute, nonexistent.
Leave it there
