    He was a decorated veteran of the Great War. He modernized the nation's highways. He was celebrated by great thinkers and artists like Heidegger and Riefenstahl. He inspired Charlie Chaplin. He was a better painter than Churchill.https://twitter.com/JarrettStepman/status/1402365276407033859 …

    Lee fought for America in the Mexican-American War. He was the father of Washington & Lee university. His home in Arlington is our most hallowed ground. His citizenship was restored in 1976. This isn’t helpful in the face of activists who find Lee and Washington equally guilty. https://twitter.com/cabot_phillips/status/1402361217986043908 …

        Right??? It's like, "OK, but what did he do AFTER the Mexican-American War and before he was President (not "father") of Washington & Lee?"

        The ‘hallowed’ ground of Arlington was seized from Lee’s family but finally paid for by the Feds—after the Lee family sued all the way to the Supreme Court.

        This man is aware of just HOW and WHY Lee's home in Arlington became our hallowed ground, right?

        This isn't sarcastic *enough* to be parallel to the towering effrontery of giving Lee credit for the creation of the Arlington National Cemetary.

        Well, If Lee hadn't joined the rebellion, his family's land would not have been confiscated, and his family probably would have held it until it could become subdivisions in the 1950's.
