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.

Why are we trying to erase history?! This is something the communists & isis does. Are we in the US going to stand idle & let the same thing happen to our history?
This was our heritage. People give in too much on these matters.
Can you imagine if all the civilizations or countries removed historical statues, buildings, etc bc they we’re out of favor? No pyramids, no coliseum, no library at Alexandria, no empty tomb in Jerusalem, no castles, no churches, no Rome and I could go on and on. History is history whether you agree with the outcome or not. Taking down or destroying visual reminders does not change the history
Leave our history alone.
That’s sad
No no no how can you let atheists run your country
Who is allowing this c**p? Seriously, people vote these lame leaders out of office!
