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.

Good! That way when they start hollering about all this race b******t I can look at them and say prove it ever happened. Where’s the proof? Idiot’s. You can’t erase the past but I’ll do my damnedest to help you try.lol
Time to protest. This is bull$#%&!@*
He is part of our history!!! Thankful For President Trump because I am sure he will make sure our history will stay for people to know.
This is TRUELY sad!!!! Robert E. Lee was/is and should be a part of HISTORY. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS will RUIN the values of theis GREAT country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh that’s not a good thing to do
First of all Robert E Lee was not a racist, as a matter of fact he thought slavery was immoral and opposed secession and thought it was unconstitutional, he only fought for the south because he couldn’t go against his beloved state of Virginia,
Secondly let history be a,lesson, those who want to erase history are bound to repeat it
Regardless of how some people feel this will not blot out the history of the US. Robert E. Lee was an honorable man and should be recognized as such. I do not agree with this whole movement to try to erase anything that reminds us of our history & heritage.
Ridiculous!
