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.

Why. It’s history.
just do what ever the$#%&!@*snow flakes want ! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU MORONS ?
American History. While we’re at it, let’s remove every statue that every Democrat or ‘progressive’ has ever put up. Let’s erase Democrats.
Why are we bowing down to a few? MOST southerners want to keep it. You can’t erase history.
B******t!
Crock of s**t
Disgusting move Did they pay his family for Arlington ?
They need to just throw the history books away and no one would know who the statues were or what they did~
I hope that comment is meant with irony Linda Bolin.
