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.
Read about the latest Robert E. Lee statue to fall on the next page:
Totally rediculous amount of money to pay out to have a 93 year old statue moved. Doesn’t change the history of the South, so why bother. There are times when political correctness, isn’t worth the price. I am sure that generations are used to seeing it and not upset every time they pass by. Crazy….
Ridiculous
thats not racism, you will spark much more racism than you can know.
Leave the General alone.
This is American history. These liberals are wrong in trying to delete our history.
I’m Pa also. Makes me want to fly the South succession flag in protest. Which is what the flag stood for before the blacks made it into some kind of symbol.
Robert E Lee was easily one of the greatest generals this country ever produced. To let some idiots with small brains and a one sided view of history do this is sad.
This will only stop when enough people rise up against it in the region where it is displayed…Communists (liberals) are trying to destroy the history of this country.
This is awful! This is our HISTORY!!! Don’t let them do it!
It just goes to show you why the democrat criminal class love the muzzies soooooooooo much ! ISIS is tearing down history all over the middle east just like these freaks ! If you people allow the destruction of our American history for a bunch of communist/socialist losers SHAME ON YOU !
