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.

That statue been there for ages and now you assholes want to bring it down that’s kind of stupid after all these years that’s as simple as our history yes I carry buddy else has a history respect for it leave it alone assholes
No
Shame on the twits who abuse history with c**p like this.
I’m so tired of this politically correct BS. This is part of our American history good or bad- what is important is that we learn from it and try to better ourselves.
Trying to rewrite history? This is awful. Seems to me that a lot of people don’t know why the civil war started! Stop this madness now!
Remove the liberals not the statue, it’s part of the country’s history. Next they will be burning books
Bloody hell! The confederate flag? The statues? Caucasian people?? Where does it end!?
Such Baloney to give your history
Of our country like Esaw traded
His birthright for a bow of soup.
If you snowflakes don’t like it just put a sheet over it and make it a KKK statue.
