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.

Give it a rest. This is part of the history of our country. If a statue of a general from the 1860’s is so upsetting to you, I feel so sorry for you.
Do something useful with your life. Help an elderly neighbor. Read to a child. Take a class and learn something new. Get a hobby, other than being offended by everything.
