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:
That is so wrong! That statue is apart of our history! Haven’t you noticed what has happened in the last 40 yrs because you haven’t taught history?
Leave history alone. PC whiners shut your mouths and go back into your closets. You have become irrelevant with your excessive whining.
Just another sad historical victim of the politically correct liberal cancer on our nation. Instead of LEARNING from history, many would rather omit it from our books and remove statues like this which SOLVES NOTHING.
If this is racist to some people, it’s racist to some people to have MLK statue up! It’s racist to me! Yes MLK was a good man so was Robert E. Lee and all the others y’all want to take down! This is wrong!
It’s part of this nation’s history. Leave well enough alone. Liberals need to get a grip on reality.
Trying to change history. Totally unacceptable.
This is a part of this countries history stop this insanity that is only destroying our countries history. Stop it and just add to the history and make other statues displaying the things that we have fought for and against to make our country great. Please stop destroying our countries history
That’s just ridiculous. You can’t change history, you can’t pretend like it didn’t happen, or that Robert E Lee didn’t exist. This PC nonsense has gotten way out of hand.
Liberalism run amuck.
This makes me sick!
