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.

Wrong to remove this part if USA soul.

When history is written it is done by the supposed winning side the war was never about slavery but how do you cover up the real facts and have every 1 in 10 Americans die while you are President to get your agenda through of a centralized government and fund it by starting income tax which is against the Constitution.This was our worst president and many think he was the greatest he was the start of where we are now.
98 years and they decide to take this down shame on you that’s our history and it did happen here and United States the Next Generation should know that
Removing statues of our history isn’t any different than the taliban destroying statues of the Buddhist. So whoever asked for the removal of statues, flags of our history is a taliban sympathizer.
He/she/it is too dumb to know that history cannot be changed. It thinks because it started off as a “he,” anything can be changed.
Pure insanity!!!!
