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.

So sad! This kind of monument should be preserved at all cost! It’s a portrayal of the rich history of this great country!
And the schools will no longer teach anything that has to do with Confederacy, this is sad. Everyone has to lose history and bow down to the handful of liberals that are ruining our country. Why, and how do they have this much power?
