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.

You can’t erase history
This is a shameful thing that is being done — this IS a part of our history whether its liked or not — it just doesn’t disappear because certain groups of people dont like it………It happened, its fact therefore it’s a part of our history, good, bad or otherwise!
They are trying to erase our history. Do that and we will be condemned to repeat it.

Erasing history, well time to erase anything to do with slavery.
Erasing more history.

Leave it stand …its a part of history. No matter what people think. Good or bad it’s history. Screw these soft brained candy asses afraid of their own shadow.
