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!

Germany accepted losing WW2 and became stronger for it, also Japan. The south were sore losers that never forgot - even today, many of our current problems can be traced back to the Jim Crow era. I find it strange! Even attitudes toward masks and vaccinations have regional differences. Vermont and Connecticut have a HIGH % of vaccination - Arkansas and Mississippi have a LOW %. And Texas is from Mars in logic.
