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.

Removing it why? And to where is it appropriate to be loved to?? Did he serve in another nations history?? Stop trying to rewrite history you can’t make it go away!! It will still have happened and what will you teach in school history!! I can see it now!! The white supremacists years with blank white pages!! Smh
What?
No way!!!u can’t erase history
Revisionist history is a dangerous practice, as a nation, to engage in. We must be mature as citizens of this democracy to acknowledge the good, the bad and the ugly and we must realize that, if revisionist history is allowed, then we have no history at all.
WRONG in every respect!
This is pitiful! What about white history we gonna have to do away with it?
Goes to show you how stupid some people can be. The civil war did not start because of slavery it was a biprodict of it. It started because the south felt the government had no right to tell people what they could or could not do with their property or their lives.
I hope not
No!
