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.

They took history out of schools
Part of History, will removing it change our history too??
But it certainly makes sure future generations don’t grow up glorying him.
I’ll take it please.
He was a traitor
Holy$#%&!@*dude. M
Do you need a safespace?
A stature gloryfing a traitor will stop something like that from happening again?
What a shame!!
