Robert E. Lee was a traitor, a brute and a slaver who wouldn't even trade black union soldiers taken prisoner for the lives of his own men because he saw black people as property to be owned.https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/06/the-myth-of-the-kindly-general-lee/529038/ …

Lee on slavery-“In this enlightened age, there are few I believe, but what will acknowledge, that slavery as an institution, is a moral & political evil in any Country,”. Yeah, sounds like a guy that loved slavery.

It's well known Lee only fought with the Confederacy because he didn't want to fight against his fellow Virginians. But people will choose to take history and mold it like they wish to fit their agendas.
-
It's only well known among those who have never read a book about the Civil War.
-
I'm a history graduate and read my fair share of books on the Civil War. Even written a paper or two. What are your qualifications? Being a regular CNN viewer?

Last I checked, the western part of Virginia split off from Virginia and fought against the Confederacy. West Virginians were part of the Army of the Potomac. And Lee killed a good number of them.

Imo: building a statue to lee is like building a statue to commemorate the boston bomber or bin laden or the okc bomber

Yes, but my conservative friends tell me he was a very good soldier who really loved his state of Virginia.
-
I remember a professor telling me, “he only joined the Confederate Army because he couldn’t bear to see his beloved beautiful Virginia destroyed.”

-
How did that work out?

My Harvard-educated, CW buff brother actually tried to convince me that Lee only had slaves because it was illegal NOT to. That’s the kind of logic they use now to deflect from the actual white supremacy narrative.
-
And at the same time they will argue the war wasn't about slavery because most of the Confederate soldiers weren't slave owners.
-
Oh, yeah. That’s in the “Greatest Hits”.

The people who defend Lee are telling on themselves.

Absolutely. And I admire them every one,

Bless your heart. Thanks to the efforts of MLK Jr., Thurgood Marshall, Constance Baker Motley, Charles Hamilton Houston, Medgar Evers, Fannie Lou Hamer, Bayard Rustin, John Lewis, Diane Nash, A Phillip Randolph and countless others, I no longer have to deal with people like you.

Please do have a most wonderful life!
