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.

No Way!!!!!!!!!!
Travesty. No respect for history
Disgrace
It’s US History, leave Lee alone!
If history going to be erased will we going to start erasing a lot of other things
In life, such monuments can provide an instructive teachable moment for our young people on, for example, the foibles of enslavement and the value of our African-American population. However, that opportunity is now lost thanks to our revisionist istorians
Do you know who general Lee was?
This is american history I’ve had enough of political correctness
You can’t take away history.
So very sad! That is our History that they are removing!
