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.

No. That is History. Don’t let the idiots do it!
We need people who know how to use the taxpayer dollars to help people in need not destroy history.
Are they going to remove any of the union generals statues like the ones that had slaves
SO SAD
So true makes me sick
This is part of our history! Where is the outrage for destroying the truth. Remember the muslims destroying all the temples, etc in sand dune land? What’s the difference?
bad move…
Leave it alone
Then the ones who voted to have it removed should pay for it.
This is just more liberal c**p
