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.

History you can not change
BS leave stuff alone
You can remove them all but you still can’t rewrite history
Would someone explain how “politically correct” is actually correct. It’s always seemed like an oxymoron to me?
No it should stay ! Its part of our history! Too bad if you don’t like it ! This is America! And Lee was part of it !
Who gives these people the right to get rid of our history?
The Taliban did the same thing .
Robert E. Lee was a great man — study his life and see what he truly stood for, we must never forget great men like him.
Save it alone. You can’t change history…Just lye about it.
WTF!!
