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.

Remove al Sharpton and Jessie Jacob. They are the real racists
Hope someone changes their mind! What a travesty to take down our memories of American History! Damn fools!
Sounds a lot like what Russia and China have done in the past. Don’t like the past….erase everything about it. Like ISIS now…. tear down offensive symbols. Those who don’t remember their history are doomed too repeat it.
This is part of our history. This craziness has to stop now. Stop removing our historic history. I don’t care if you like it or not. Stop destroying it.
This is part of American history and should be left alone. Kids who are graduating from high school these days know nothing about American history. This is total idiocy.
We learn from History our successes and or failure, we need the reminders.
BS
Dont mess with it.
What is happening to our history…
If we are getting rid of one side we should get rid of the other cover it all up
Then we should remove anything that’s got to do with Obama he was nothing but a race divider
