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.

I live 14 miles from that town. I can tell you first hand that the people there are freaking morons.
sounds a lot like ISIS to me
more stupidity from those in power in va. new world order is an evil plan.
american leadership is vile and a total disgrace…virginia is a shameful example
What’s the matter with these liberal Marxist progressive dumbacrats! Is this isis doing this? It’s part of history they want to destroy idiots!!!
Ironically Lee was a better person morally and ethically than Grant…obviously Charlottesville, which was named after oppressive royalty don’t know or understand history.
Gen. Lee was part of our history. It is shameful to sweep reminders of past events under the rug simply because it offends someone. It still doesn’t change the fact it happened. Someone just might learn something if it it remains.
Listen to the incoherent reason they give for wanting to do it. This is whats amazing.
Those who forget/ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
These are sad times for America. Robert E Lee is as much a part of this country’s history as Abraham Lincoln. These tactics were used by the Nazis and are still being used by Isis. Burn the books and destroy the monuments then it will dissapear and no longer exist. Sorry it does not work that way. It will not go away.
