Grew up in Wisconsin. Don't believe there were any Lee statues there or anywhere in the Midwest and probably most of the rest of the USA other than the South. Somehow millions of Americans learned US history without seeing statues of Lee. Amazing!
Have you noticed that our children and grandchildren go to school and learn very little about our history.

Perhaps when they see a statue they might be interested in learning more about the man and the times he lived in.
