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.

Keep the statue.
That’s a shame. Low life yellow bellied bunch of cowards. Removing a piece of History
Ridiculous to trash our history. Grow up and get over it, libs!
They want to trash history it’s because they have no history
Leave our history alone. Those who do not learn from it will repeat it.
Leave it alone!
This is so stupid. It is part of our history, people need to get over it
Why?

This is ridiculous! You are not going to change history!
