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.

AMERICANS NEED TO STOP THE REMOVABLE OF OUR HISTORY!!!!!!!!
How about all the early slave owners? Weren’t they also racists, you know like Washington. How about the Democrats that fought against that fought against liberating blacks? This is just BS and too flipping politically correctness.
History should be acknowledged and taught truthfully and without prejudice. Not only should these monuments stand, but their importance, contribution to history, and lessons learned should be taught. That way, we can learn from both their successes and failures. Otherwise, much is lost and we are poorer for it. ‘Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.’ (George Santayana).
People just stop and listen those who don’t understand history are bound to repeat it these things are what made us know we must be better people than we were ridding our past dooms our future
Cupcakes method of dealing with something they can’t handle. Make believe it didn’t happen.
This is our forefathers, history, ,leave it alone for God sake my youngest had no idea who Benjamin Franklin was..they have taken most of the true history in school books teaching our kids socialism 🙁
You can try all you want to, but you will never be able to remove enough statues, or flags or anything else that will change what is in a person’s heart. All this stuff is doing is breeding resentment! Come try and remove them from my yard and you will meet a harsh and deadly end!
ISIS ELIMINATES HISTORY BY DOING THIS, SO NOW SOMEONE IS DOING THAT HERE.
STOP THIS TERRORIST INSANITY NOW.
