One more time: Lee’s “contribution to our country” was to wage war against it. Had he had his way, the nation would have died 150 years ago.https://twitter.com/msnbc/status/925434431879356416 …
It's worth mentioning that Lee was offered command of the Union army by Winfield Scott, a Virginian who remained loyal to the United States

Interesting. The point being that he refused said command out of loyalty to the Confederacy?

Well, loyalty to Virginia.

It’s worth pointing out, Lee paced the floor the whole night before, trying to decide what to do. He was really torn . Wrong decision made

Another thing to remember was that Lee said there should be no Confederate memorials .pic.twitter.com/rQJIxIgAcC

And people should not overlook George Henry Thomas, a Virginian, who stayed loyal to the Union and was one of the great Western Generals
-
In response to George Thomas in the Union, his family turned his picture against the wall, bruned his letters, and never spoke to him again

So he chose to fight to continue slave ownership. Horrible.
