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.

Oh yes, let’s keep erasing History!!! History cannot be changed, it’s there to be remembered! If you don’t teach it in school, remember it as it was, we are doomed to repeat it. It should make us all wonder why there are some who want to erase our past.
This is crazy.
Well it is about time , we start marching against these c**p, when is it going to end.
Iam a northerner living in the south and have no problem with southern heritage. This is why most kids have no idea about history.
Some Americans are acting like third world dictators by trying to erase history.
Enough your destroying this country’s history!!
I am a descendent of a Confederate soldier, my husband is the descendent of 3 Confederate Soldiers. We feel this is wrong to destroy the statues, this is our heritage.. why are we e-writing American History? This hurts!
No way, can’t change history.
I’m so sick of this “stupidity “… from narrow-minded liberals —-
I’m a Yankee from Michigan and I think it’s sad what the left is doing to all of our histories…The sad thing is one day we will regret it but then it will be too late.
