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.

Leave history alone the good and the bad! I think there is a misunderstanding of the civil war?
Leave it alone. It is history
MAY THE SOUTH RISE UP AND BITE YOUR LIBERALS ASS
This is wrong. History is history! You can take down the statues, but you can’t remove the history.
Why !? That’s Stupid!
It’s time to take the state house down,$#%&!@*for tate
The past is the past! Can’t change it by hiding things!
This really makes me angry. The term “politically correct” is nothing more than an underhanded way of changing something. This stinks. The story of General Lee is important to history.
Cowards
Communist always rewrite history first. The last thing they want is a statue of someone who stood against government
