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.

Shame on them! This is part of our history!
You guys keep destroying our history. Sad when you do this.
So, there was no war and blacks are still slaves?
So stupid
We keep Memorials such as this and the confederate flag as a memory so we do not fall into the same thing again. It reminds us of the hate and the lose weight suffered as a result of our actions then! To remove them is to try to whitewash our history in an attempt to erase it from our memory! The Alt left’s actions to do this is to set them up to do exactly the same thing again and reminders like these keep us from letting it happen! The liberals want a war and they want to destroy America to change it by force if necessary to a more socialist/communist country! The failure of Hillary to win the election has shown them that Americans are smart enough, at least most of us, that they will not be able to do that through any form of peaceful means. Americans stopped this action before it reached a tipping point towards communism! We need to fight to take our country vacation from the black shirt fascists that are direct dependents of the Italian Faicism in the 1930s! This last election was a turning point in this war and we came ever so close in losing our country that so many Patriots and servicemen/women gave their lives to create and protect for us! Keep up the fight and God bless America!
