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.

You all know what I am thinking? All of these wonderful, beautiful works of art should be put in one place for everyone who wants to, to see and admire. I know we have Confederate Museums, but we need one for all these great statues that are being torn down. This is sinful that we are doing this to any part of our culture/country. I wish we could save everything in this country! I love all these beautiful, old homes and their architecture. This country is still young by European standards, by we have so much to love and save!!
I think you mean glorifying him. Robert E Lee was a superb general and honorable man. Perhaps you should pick up a biography and learn about him . There were a lot of qualities to admire and he loved the state of Virginia and would not fight against her.
Leave it there. Let them fund raise and remove it themselves
