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.

It’s history!! It happened!! Leave it alone.
The people of the US are just plan stupid. Leave our History alone.
I would be proud to have it displayed in my front yard.

Why? Do you think that removing a statue will erase history?
This is B******t. It’s a part of History.This Political Correctness has gone far enough.It has to stop now.There are no living Slaves or Slave Owners.The Irish were sold as Slaves.Has anyone heard them Raising Hell.No you havn’t. They went to work and accomplished something.Give it a rest.
if they continue with the desecration of our southern heritage because of something that occurred 140 years ago, then what are the limits for these p**s ants when it comes to being offended. if they continue with this foolishness they may really understand what being offended is all about up close and personal.
Liberals are fascists. Soon they will burn books!
Live the statue alone, this is history
Leave it alone it’s history.
