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.

Where are the demonstrations? Where are the phone calls to your State Governor. Don’t let that just happen. There are people out there who are trying to not only destroy history but re write it in clear falsehoods!
No don’t care who it offends, There are a lot of statues that offend me
Yes, but if you lie about it long enough, over time, it becomes fact.
Confederate memorial removal may become a new business venture……be interesting to see who gets awarded the contracts
These statues need saving! Civil War Trust should be taking action to save them or those who love history.
