An anonymous bidder known as "LawDude" won a competitive auction to take on this bronze statue with 84 other bidders placed on the 1936 sculpture who fought AGAINST the UNITED STATES TO preserve SLAVERY in the rebel south. The city council voted to remove the statue in September of 2017 in the aftermath of the deadly August 2017 "Unite the Right" white nationalist rally over the Lee Monument in Charlottesville. Both statues were removed amid wave of local grassroots calls to take down monuments The Lee Statue was taken out of formerly named "Lee Park" after council vote as lawmakers voted to sell it after deciding what to do with it The park is now named Turtle Creek Park as the city recouped all of the 450,000 it spent to remove the monument This wasn't the end of the purge as a 65 foot Confederate War Memorial that stands at Pioneer Park Cemetery next to downtown convention centre was also eliminated Do you think this ugly statue is worth more than a MILLION?
