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.

Why the past is totally part of our now and future. Ignoring it will not change it. Leave it alone. It was a horrible.time in this.country. The south.wanted to be its own country attacked snd paid a mighty price as the republics won. Slavery ending was only a small part of what it wad actuslly about. We need better education.
