Either: 1. Your understanding of who he is, is about as accurate as a Prager University video. 2. You’re okay with a man who chose to take up arms against his country, in order to perpetuate the immoral act of chattel slavery, all in the name of ‘Christianity’ & ‘States Rights’.
ACTUALLY, he was asked by Lincoln to command the US Army and said that he couldn't raise his sword against hisHOME STATE. We can't judge those from another era by today's standards. Thomas Jefferson owned slaves. I'm not saying it was right, but was a different mindset.
he was okay with raising his sword against the people of West Virginia, people of his state who seceded from Virginia in order to not commit treason kinda casts doubt on him being some great and noble man, right?
See my other point about Washington... A British officer who swore an oath to the Crown. AND... Then committed treason. Again, you're judging in a society over a hundred years later. Who knows... In 100 years they might consider abortions murder.
If we can't judge those of the past we also can't idolize them. You build a statue for a person because they represent something you respect. People are saying its stupid to respect that thing. It's absurd to say "oh, only good judgement is allowed."
You can judge them, just not on today's perspective. Most statues were built decades and decades or centuries ago. Back then they were respected. Different for today. Just put yourself in somebody's shoes. It's not like you're arguing against a modern day Lee or statue.
u might wanna look into this
Who's going to tell him?
Yeah, why are people so judgy about merely leading a losing and treasonous insurrection in defense of slavery that killed more Americans than nearly all other wars combined? Weird.
Planned Parenthood is the king of killing more Americans than all Americans killed in all wars combined. Let’s not forget that over 12 million black Americans have been slaughtered by Planned Parenthood. No we should focus on Lee.
Call me when you have a uterus.
From the looks of him, he might have one in a jar someplace.
robert e. lees dead bro, hes not gonna fck u
Yeah, why are these white nationalists always into licking some guy's boots? And how do you have Semper Fi as your banner while you're lauding a treasonous slaveholder?pic.twitter.com/ocaF3sGZr4
They can't get the image of those shiny, shiny Hugo Boss jackboots out of their heads...
Your Twitter pic says it all, this is every respectable CW historian talking. Lee was a slaveholder who committed treason against his country enslaved black people was a mediocre general and opposed black citizenship. Get off Twitter and read some history not Lost Cause mythology
And Lee was no gentleman leave alone honorable. As President of Washington and Lee college he condoned the actions of students who had raped black women. The guys just stinks and the hagiography surrounding him makes me want to puke #twitterstorians
It's also interesting to say "by today's sensibilities". He was known during that era as a torturous monster in how he treated his slaves. Beyond the normalcy of slave owners of the time.
Oh my.... well damn, I stand corrected I guess.
