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.

Pure bs
It is our history leave it there
No leave it be.
So sad! That’s part of our history!
To please who? How about those that placed it there, and like it there? Do they not matter any more?
This is wrong. Somebody needs to grow ???? And let our history alone. ITS HISTORY. HISTORY BOOKS!!!!!!!
Once the Carpetbaggers finished off the South, you would have thought they would have left. Guess not, must be more to destroy! So Sad! The South stood up for states rights, Lee needs to go. States rights are gone.
