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.

How about all of you stop removing our history and concentrate on the real problems in our country
No matter what this is our history they are tearing down
Bring it to my house I’ll show it gladly you can take down all the things you are afraid of but that wont make the past go away we need them to teach us not to repeat the past!
Sad
Are we supposed to just stand down while our country is being torn down one brick at a time. For Gods sake, fight back at these idiotic deeds.
Stupid leave our history alone. Good or bad this is part of our history and should remain
BS. IT CAN BE REMOVED, BUT THE HISTORY IS STILL THERE.
Truly disgraceful.
Total bull s**t
Who is responsible
