Why did Charlottesville remove their Lewis and Clark statue?

So I understand the long debate and contention about the Robert E. Lee statue. What I don't get is why they removed a statue of Meriwether Lewis, William Clark and Sacagawea. What is so offensive about that?

It's an incredible story and it's a part of American history worth celebrating. If anything you'd think people would be pushing for York to get some much deserved credit for his contributions to the expedition. He was Clark's childhood friend and slave (it's kind of a weird relationship), he didn't receive any money for going on the trip and Clark refused to give him his freedom when they got back. The book *Undaunted Courage* by Stephen Ambrose is a fantastic dive into this moment in American history. He doesn't shy away from the ugly bits or the difficult questions but It still leaves you in awe of this grand adventure. I don't know it just seems like this is a perfect example of Americans coming together on a voyage of exploration and peace. Shouldn't we be happy that's represented?
