LINK Virginia to take down Robert E. Lee statue on Wednesday | Reuters

Sept 6 (Reuters) - A statue of Confederate Civil War General Robert E. Lee that towers six stories over Richmond, Virginia, and was a centerpiece of protests over racial injustice, is coming down this week.

The Commonwealth of Virginia announced on Sunday it would remove the 12-ton bronze statue on Monument Avenue on Wednesday, stashing it in a secure state-owned storage site until a decision on its future is finalized.

(Personally, I dont' think rebel's should have been honored with statues.)

Good. He was a traitor, and a leader in the greatest crime in American history. He should have been hung after the war.

Lee and Davis should have stood in front of a firing squad.

Robert E Lee was a traitor. History has been revised to describe him as as true gentleman. He wasn't. He was a racist piece of shit. Why should there be a statue honoring him?
