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.

When they take Lee down please go to DC and take MLK down also both are history,both lived during bad times in the US and the radical blacks are disrespecting his memory, so take them both down so everyone can be angry!!!!!
The PC snowflakes can remove a statue but they cannot erase history.
It was do to the sesession of the Southern states, the issue of the slaves came along later.
You can’t get rid of history
The people and government who actually fought the Confederacy forgave and welcomed them back into the fold of our nation. The only thing the Democrats should be ashamed of is they have not changed.
Hell no
Why is this being done.lt is not right! The blacks have a special new museum for their history which is fine.This is history!!
Leave history alone!
O hell no
