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.

Worst form of censorship. Erasure of whole culture.
Dumb a’s, our country needs to get a backbone!
That Mellienial piece of c**p WOULD take em “ALL” down.. he doesn’t give a c**p about anything except himself and his Bleifs ONLY….. narrow minded… selphie taking.. narcissistic B.S….
That’s just wrong
If we get rid of all of Obama’s pictures etc… can we pretend he never happened? Remove him from any history books?
hmmm . . . Think about other countries that tried to rewrite history by destroying the face of those not approved by the ones currently in power. This began thousands of years ago. It certainly makes it difficult for our prodigy to discover historical facts when they are left with “misstatements, lies, and little evidence of what took place. Along with history books that are rewritten, and speeches given including lies about then and about now, distortions abound. Why does the left fear the truth? Why do they feel the need to change the truth and/or put an inaccurate spin on the truth? It reminds me of playing dolls as a preschooler. The scenario, characters, and plot were set by alpha kid. Nothing changed until the alpha kid was replaced by another. In the past, our country was above that — no so now. It’s like the tail wagging the dog.
If I’m correct, Lee had freed his slaves before the war and did not currently own any, but the union general still did. People are making absurd demands out of ignorance and trying to rewrite history. Just watch any of those shows that go to college campuses, or other similar public areas, and ask questions regarding historical facts.
They are no better than ISIS, who gleefully destroy historical sites in the Middle East. They should be ashamed of themselves. Real southerners should note everyone who voted to destroy history and campaign to get them out of office. They must pay for being so destructive.
It’s just more media lies. Ignore the idiots.
This is what happens when your home state(mine in this case) is overrun with Libatard Yankee Carpetbaggers that work at UVA,move over the Potomac into Northern Virginia,and populate the tidal areas…You end up with this right along with Yankee politicians as Kaine and McAuffie…Fubar…
