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.

Idiots
Let’s do away with black history month in schools and the miss black America pageant and all statues of any black people except soldiers dying for our country or black police being killed while protecting us. Do away with the black history museum. Anything to do with black history. And all union soldiers statues.
twisted people
WHY? This belongs to us all not just a few.
It is criminal to remove this part of history ‘
As a Christian woman – there are alot of things in this country that offends me but I don’t cry and stomp my feet until I get things removed, etc… I just avoid things that offend and annoy me like a normal adult would and should do.
We are now living in an intolerant and violent society.
In New Orleans, it was just the mayor. When did a mayor get the power to be a dictator?
When will it ever end. Total waste of time and money.
This is all part of the plan to destroy America. Destroy our history….just a start, what will be next. We have to stop this NOW !
