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.

Shameful!!!!!
I DO NOT understand this, good or bad, it’s part of our history!
What is wrong with you people? Sick, Sick, Sick.
Ridiculous…ISIS is doing the same thing in the Middle East
Why? History is history!
Instead of removing History and Artifacts remove the offended blacks.
That’ll change history……….NOT!
Agree
It’s disturbing that so many weak people can not bear to see a statue of a long ago historical figure, a need to see it removed as if that will change history. They should be focusing are their own short comings and make sure they don’t repeat history!
Agree
