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.

Remove memories of the past make the same mistakes in the future. People today don’t learn from their past mistakes. I say leave the statue, it represents lives lost over differences that should have been settled peacefully.
I guess the General Grant statues should be removed also along with any others that led the north along with Abe statues and we can just forget any of it ever happened.
You can’t erase history! This is ludicrous! You learn from it!
this is bull it’s part of American history
