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.

I agree Charles Ladner….Well SAID…..
TREASON to try to undermine our country’s history. This is a paid socialist tactic. Those involved should be arrested.
This is our history and heritage. You can not change it by removing a statue! This is wrong
WTF? These Liberals who want to change oi
Hope there are some more torchings.
Robert E Lee wasn’t born in 1862
Removing statues and flags does not change history.
This is a part of Americas history and I would bet if you asked any student today they wouldn’t know what we were talking about.
I believe the UN is behind this nonsense
That’s part of history. General Lee was a magnificent General. Won every battle up till Gettysburg. Made some bad decisions that day. Not listening to his subordinate Generals. Was offer commander of the Federal Army by Abraham Lincoln. I hold no animosity toward the south and their history. Leave the fucking statues alone you putz Liberals.
