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.

Good or bad history is history.
Ridiculous.

NO way, if they do everything to do with Civil rights has to be taken down also, it offends me to have their statues in any state.
To be a socialist state you must errace history
Noooooo
The Civil war wasn’t about racism, it was about state rights. This is still a big problem today. Whenever the feds want to enforce what they want, they threaten states by exclaiming they will hold up fed funds to that state! I think we should rename The United States Of America to The Federated States Of America!
