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.

We are acting like the Japanese, erasing WW2 crimes from their history books
Thanks I will.
Put it up on private ground out in the open not far from where its at now.
No !
Sad political correctness would push this. I hate slavery, but the civil war went far beyond slavery
Such childish b******t!!!!!!!!
Just like they are doing in the Middle EAST.
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” ~George Santayana
It’s a failure to remove history….good or bad.
Someone explain to me how all those poor men from the south went off to fight a war so the %1 elite in the south who owned slaves could keep them? Just another move to cover up factual American history.
Leave Robert E. Lee Statue where it is! Leave it alone!
