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.

How dare they remove a statue if a Civil War general!!!!
No
Hiding history doesn’t make it nonexistent. History will repeat itself if we forget it!
PC BS!!
History is still History! Instead of taking down these statutes leave them up to remind us. And let’s learn from them!
It’s history!!
The true racists are those that want the statue removed. Low IQ animals.
So stupid to remove history. I guess they are in favor of repeating it.
Well there goes factual history.
You have got to be kidding me this is history this is not to offend anyone
