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.

Could we at the same time REMOVE SLAVERY FROM OUR HISTORY BOOKS AS WELL. WOULDN’T IT BE NICE NOT TO HEAR ABOUT THAT ALL OF THE TIME AS WELL???
This is not right. You cannot change history. People have to learn from history, both good and bad so we don’t make the same mistakes again.
This should not be done.
Time to put a stop to these cry baby s
NO!!!!!!!!! HISTORY Can Not Be Erased!!!!!!
BS
When do we start taking down the statues of MLK? There is a statue of Lenin in Seattle How about the statue of Pancho Villa in Tucson??. Seems like all it akes is one person saying they are offended to get a statue removed.
Communist bastards!
Seems like Virginia has become just another liberal $hithole, where its history can be trashed on a whim.
Oh no!.!what a travesty!!
