The statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee in downtown Charlottesville has not only been torn down but also melted down in a secret ceremony. The Confederate statue was removed following the 2017 Charlottesville riot and will now be replaced with public artwork that is more “inclusive.”
The Washington Post reported that the Robert E. Lee statue was “being cut into fragments and dropped into a furnace, dissolving into a sludge of glowing bronze.”
The outlet reported that the destruction of the Confederate monument was done in secrecy – the name and location of the foundry were not revealed to the public for fear of retribution. The group transforming the Confederate statue said they have already been the victims of “past threats.”
The owner of the foundry said, “The risk is being targeted by people of hate, having my business damaged, having threats to family and friends. Yet when you are approached with such an honor, especially to destroy hate, you have to do it.”
No Way
Lee Should have Won the WAR & Deported ALL Slaves Back to Africa !!!! SOLVED
R.E. Lee had more integrity in his little finger than I have in my entire being! And I have always tried to live by the credo that honesty is the best policy. Unfortunately, the majority of people nowadays (or so it seems) prefer to be lying, cheating barbarians! Sad times we live in…
But I thought R.E. Lee was a murderous defender of slavery! Wasn’t he a CONFEDERATE general?
Maybe
They should have melted Biden down with the statue!
Maybe you should actually read a history book 647. Do you really believe the War of Northern Aggression was because the North was against slavery and the South was only trying to preserve it? If so you are beyond hope.
states rights! which seem to be non existent under this government!
States’ rights to have slavery? I don’t think so.
States Rights to do what?
Melt down MLK !!!
