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.

Can’t change history by removing statues
Lee should remain.

Idiots. Political Correctness defined: Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by mainstream media, which holds fourth that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of S – – T by the clean end.
Just keep denying history. We will be condemned to repeat it.
Robert E. Lee was an American officer. The new cowards are giving up their heritage to passify the blacks and liberals. Shame.
Kind of ridiculous. This is American history.
You can’t change history by removing statues and other reminders of an incident that is part of all our past.

Yeah I saw this. It’s currently being sued to be stopped. They tried doing the same to General Nathan Bedford Forrest’s statue in downtown Memphis until state law stopped it.
