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.

Why?
This is a good reason to hold a peaceful protest. It has been said that the city council wants to spend millions on moving the statue, but the foul smelling public housing where the elevators don’t work is not getting repaired.
Sick
So WRONG!
$300,000 to MOVE the statue!
WOW!
DON’T GO COMPLAINIBG THAT YOU HAVE HOMELESS OR SICK PEOPLE THAT CAN’T AFFORD HEALTH CARE!
I’m looking forward to the radical cultural change across the black population of the city after the principal cause of all the turmoil in the city is removed. The City Council has made a huge commitment to the citizens of the city.
Ain’t right,HISTORY people,leave it alone.
Why its part of history for future years
Zionism needs to re write history . So much has re written in the last 130 years . Replacing it with more lies created by Zion . The. Red to hide the truth
