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.

You can’t erase history!
You people are pretty Damn STUPID and next you will year down things that remind you of the progress in some areas but go ahead and be STUPID you are not doing this country any favors
History is history whether we like it or not. Disgraceful and disrespectful that parts of history are being destroyed just because the left does not like it! Our forefathers fought and died for beliefs and history of our country. So very sad that our country has come to this “destroying our history”!!!!!
Yeah lets forget all our history so we can repeat it
Robert E Lee loved his home state of Virginia Wich is the only reason he fought for the south , he actually opposed slavery and thought succession was unconstitutional, not only that but he did serve in the American army for years prior to the civil war and led the American army in the Mexican campaign ,so please leave the statiue alone it’s a part of our history.
Remember this those who want to erase history are bound to repeat it
What a shame!
Why?? Politically correct went out with “o”
Anti-American morons!
Leave the statue alone if you don’t like don’t look at it
