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/ …

I didn't Claim it was. But putting up a Plaque explaining the Facts Shows the intent. Removing the statue doesn't explain Things.
-
"We made a statue to commemorate a racist and a traitor, then made a new plaque to explain ourselves. We should have just removed the damn thing and taught this in schools without commemorating this asshole." Something like that?

In Schools where Evolution still isn't taught? But okay, you're Right, you obviously know the best way to deal w/ the Problem of how history is taught in US.

Why don't you ask historians? They've covered this extensively on Twitter, I'm sure you can find a thread or two. Happy hunting!

Yep! Maybe they could take pics of the confederate monuments before they destroy them. Then put the pics, accurate info about the Civil War & about the Civil Rights Era all together in a museum. Explain how those monuments were made during the JimCrow era. No revisionist history
-
We could put those pictures in a gallery featuring all the people that worked to defend the statues. Especially those ones with tiki torches chanting “Jews will not replace us” for the historical preservation of Robert e lee(?)

It should be in a museum, and the context should be that the statue of the asshole even existed and that there was this debate over it. This is the history we need to per serve for the future. That as country we went through this growing pain of dealing with or shitty past
