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.

Stop this leftist movement to try to erase our history, to fit their pussification of America agenda..
Waiting for the day that MLK streets are renamed…….the only thing that is good for is to tell us what part of town to avoid!
If we’re going to erase history , let’s erase all history . Not just the history that the liberal so called professors decide to erase. So I guess slavery didn’t really happen.
Sad sad sad

Can’t change history, but you can learn from it.
why destroy History. When you do that,you destroy the story of us.Thats rigth the story of us . The good, the bad and those in the middle , made us. If you destroy history, then how will we learn the lessons it can teach us,how will we learn to avoid the errors if the past, as to not make the same ones today. It is also stupid to judge Lee by the standards of today.After the war he did more then any one else in the South, to heal the Country.
