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.

And who’s to blame for this B******t odumass..
This removal should be against the state law and federal. This is history we cannot forget the past or we will repeat it
This is so wrong the people removing these statues need to be removed from the US!
So sad , can they at least keep the horse…
No no no
Better to put your $$$ toward removing Islam and mosques- the real threat to our Freedom!
This is wrong!
The people of Virginia just lost their own heritage.If your state history doesn’t matter, then your family history doesn’t matter, because your family history may be part of the Civil War.
So, after they remove every sign of the civil war, will the democrats say, “It never happened, you are still slaves, now get to work in the cotton fields.
Ridiculous. This will continue to get out of hand until people stand up and put a stop to it. You can not just erase history because it suits you.
