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.

So wrong!
Liberal idiots
Those people that are trying to wipe out American history are no better than the Isis animals that are destroying history in the middle east
The politically correct left is crazy. Next they will want to remove statues of George Washington because be owned slaves.
Seems to me the south will long remember what’s happening here.
What a shame!!
Wrong … it’s history … right or wrong, you can’t ERASE it!!!!
Taking the statue down doesn’t change history… My God, what’s wrong with these people!?!
