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.

Ridiculous and just plain wrong
Civil War is part of our heritage, no matter what side you were on, leave the General!
Leave it alone. These fucking liberal whine asses are fucking offended by everything
Removing this statue does not change history! Ridiculous waste of money.
What a disgrace to us all, caused by a bunch of liberals who are just plain stupid and uncaring.
This is what the Taliban does. Eliminate the history of a culture because they find it offensive.
Pathetic
They can put it at my house.
Communist at work. Sad.
Stop trying to change history!
