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:
The history of the confederacy cannot be erased by removing a statue of one of the principle people involved…denying factual history will not make it go away and remembering might just prevent it from being repeated! JACK
Should be a fight to stop this insanity.
That’s ridiculous
What’s next, Charlottesville? Monticello??
This is BS!! LEAVE the Statue Alone!!!
They have no excuse or reason to remove it. Its crazy for anyone to be offended by a statue
This man was a very respected union officer before the civil war and was offered the command of the union forces by Lincoln
PC cannot change history….Robert E Lee was a part of it. This kind of activity is ignorant and futile.
LEAVE IT ALONE
So whose the fascist?
