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.

apparently it is at a huge cost the contractor had his Lamborghini torched.really a contractor with a Lamborghini. WTF. on the topic of the monuments its because its a reminder of the last rebellion against a tyrannical over reaching federal government. slavery was an issue but not the main issue we were selling our cotton for more profit to england and the norths industrial economy was dying as it is doing now.
leave it alone. who is letting this happen. Soros paying to have it removed.
What about the people who don’t want it removed don’t we have any rights. If you don’t like it don’t look at it . We had to look at Obama for 8 yrs.
What a bunch of whimps, this is all part of the common core plan to rewrite our history. It is part of history whether you like it or not. How dare they spend taxpayer money to remove this. That is not being financially responsible.
Why it’s part of history.
Why?
Stop this nonsense!!!
And when we make them put it back is will cost them even more.
This is awful news. Taking all.our history away. I am not happy. I will have to explain to my grandson that there are vicious communist here ruining our country. Because that’s all these idiots are. Uneducated trash liberals.
Leave it alone. It is part of history. Stop trying to retell or rewrite history. We need to know our history and learn from it. Who was the third President of the US?
