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.

Southerns are being persecuted for their heritage just like the Blacks. That, too, is racism.
Well all of them need to be removed not just the statue of lee. Whether they b black blue red or yellow and change the street names. Do it right, not one way.
Let’s remove every state of MLK, rename every school and street, and pretend civil right never happened
