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.

This should not be allowed
Disgraceful
most of us still call it old Dixie hwy, can’t stand the taste in my mouth if I said the other name.
What utter NONSENSE!!!!! One cannot erase our history, not the good , the bad or the ugly but the snowflakes just want attention.
To remove statues and flags does not change history. It makes it more apt to be repeated as younger generations do not know the truth.
They are breaking the law they are protect
This is STUPID!!! Our Country’s history destroyed by Liberals! Sad and disgusting!!!
If anyone who reads Lee’s letters does not realize what an outstanding person he was is mentaly blind.
What a bunch of cry babies
Are these people dumb enough to believe removing a statue removes history? Idiots
