American Civil War general statue removed

A couple of days ago in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA, a truck removed a statue of General Robert Edward Lee. He fought for the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War of 1861–1865.

Plans to remove the statue already in August 2017 caused riots.
