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.

Bring it to my house. One of the great men of the 19th century
What a bunch of stupid people removing a statue of Robert E Lee apart of our Great American history
Leave history alone.
SHAME!!!!
Where’s the southern Boys at are you going to let this happen.????
Leave it alone you cannot change our history.
This is ridiculous. I can not believe this is happening in America.
That is not right that part of our history be taken away. This flag represented the south it had nothing to do with racism. I am sick that they want to hide and cover up our history. We should be past all this but there are some that wants to keep tension in our country get over it. It’s wrong to destroy our history. It’s worse than when$#%&!@*burned all the books. I am tired of babying the ones who find it offensive. I find you offensive who wants to change our history.
B******t !
Jedi mind trick: “This never happened…”
