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.

This is part of history and it should be told not hidden
This is wrong. It is part of history. Taking it down will not change anything except shoving more racist propaganda on our children.
No,no
This is pure bull$#%&!@*!! This is our country’s history. Removing monuments will NOT change HISTORY!!!!
STUPID! THIS IS PART OF OUR HISTORY! WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY?
You can remove statues, but you will never remove the legacy of the South from my heart and soul. God forgive you.
Stupid. Remember all
It is history leave it alone and use common sense
They are trying to erase history. Of course with some of the educators we have today, it won’t take long.
WHY?
