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.

Move it to the White House
All the voters for Donald Trump should voice their opposition against these idiots. We want to teach our children about our history and the statues are included !!!
If people would read historical accounts of Lee they might be reluctant to remove the statue. He agonized over the decision to join the Confederacy. There is a saying that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
Quit trying to destroy the history of this country.
A big loss… we are losing our history piece by piece!!
Good the bastard betrayed the south
Liberals changing history
PC assholes. Liberals, no doubt.
Another reason not to visit Virginia.
Bullpoop…leave our history alone
