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.
Read about the latest Robert E. Lee statue to fall on the next page:
Ridiculous
LEAVE IT ALONE EXCEPT TO RESTORE IT !!!
Leave the statue alone!!!! It is a part of American history and should not be destroyed. Trying to erase it isn’t go to change it. We need to get rid of the politicians who are making these ludicrous decisions! !
Noooooo
Leave the Robert E. Lee statues alone. Enough is enough we need to tell these PC assholes to stick it where the sun don’t shine.
When are they going to start removing Martin Luther King statues?
Stop trying to erase history.
This is one of the most reducilous thibngs I eever heard of, if his statue must go then so must all black history go, because how can you explain history of the south with only untrue black history. The slaves were captured by their own people and sold into slavery, the first slave owner was a black mman, the mabn with the most slaves was black, and yet white people are blamed for slavery, the Brittish, the French, and the Spannish brought thme here to start slavery in America, and so if they ar owed anything it is by thouse that captured their forefathers, those that started slavery here, and not the white people. Thouasnds of whits dies to end slavery, tax money after tax money was spent to help blacks, and yet nothing is enough to stop the hate for those that are innocent of ever having a slave, and yet lost family mambers to fre them.
Leave history alone. If we forget our past we may repeat the process again.
In the last 8 years, so much BS!! flags, lunches,rest rooms, why do people swallow this c**p??
