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.

History can not be forgotten.
How dumb
Rewriting history. Thanks liberal assholes. Statue is older than the people who want it down. What happened to respect your elders?
Soon our country will have no real, valid history. Liberal politicians and academia will invalidate all facts, tradition and successes of our past and attempt to rewrite to their skewed view of a country we once called America.
Erasing history is not the answer. This is sad.
WHY
Liberals and ISIS have to destroy history as it reveals the hypocrisy.
Liberals want to remeve Americas History. Liberals have already phased out that Republicans Passed the Civil Rights Bills in Congress after Democrats Voted NO on them.
they can remove the statues…..however the history remains…..
Leave them the f alone
