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.

Stop destroying our HISTORY !!
This reminds me of the Germans burning books (WW2) thinking it would change things Democrats/Natzi
What is wrong with you people? Leave the statues alone and in place!
Getting rid of these statues is as dumb as the Nazis burning books
Can’t fix stupidity
It’s our history. The south has long been a large part of history. Leave it alone.
That is our history. good or bad, it’s still our history
This is absurd. History cannot be changed by removing statues or flags.
Shame on thes losers ,you can take away their flag and statues ,but not thei r memories,and you may start something you can’t change,karma
THIS AGAINST FEDERAL.
