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.

Why, it’s part of history
Too bad. Lee was one of the
most honorable men in our history. The people who voted for this should read about him. I’m sure karma will pay them a visit sometime when they least expect it.
No. Stop trying to change history!
Part of our history being replaced by libertard b******t
This is deplorable we are removing history
Well written
Proud of my southern heritage and bow my head to no man.
Then all the portaits and history of former slaves that suceeded in making something of their lives should be done away with, after all they’re a reminder of the civil war too, Besides the war was not fought over slavery, it was over higher & higher taxes, and no representation, the democommies back then suckered the freed slaves into becoming cannon fodder by pretending to want them free, then has spent ever since then ignoring the blacks until election time, Even organizing the KKK to keep them in line & voting democrat, Thank God, there are plenty that have realized it, God must have touched their eyes to see the truth of the evil democommies.
OK lets take this to its logical conclusion. Arlington National Cemetary was donated by the family of Robert E Lee. so lets dig up all the graves and move them to Wisconsin ok? This stupidity has to stop!
That is pure bs
