You can put history in a closet but it keeps coming back at you in many ways.

Robert E. Lee was a great soldier and man. Robert E. Lee - Wikipedia
You do know that Lee wasn't even a General don't you? He was a Colonel in the Union army.....before he deserted. But you keep trying!!!!:1rotfl:

And exactly what kind of "property" do you think he was talking about?


From your link.

"Let the Northern States repeal their Personal Liberty Bills, and pass laws recognizing the rights of the Southern people to their property. Let Southern people be permitted to enjoy their rights unmolested and undisturbed. Let them, if they desire it, carry with them in their tours of business or pleasure their domestic servants."
Cherry pick much?

Sorry, but you are incorrect.

Why Were Confederate Monuments Built? : NPR
NPR? You're quoting that Liberal site?

Yeah, that's not exactly a tough choice for me.
The fact that you think that was what the Civil War was all about speaks volumes...

A brilliant tactician that was serving a terrible cause. I look at him as a historical figure. A brilliant General. That's about it.

now that his statue in Richmond is gone, are the snowflakes lives better today? what problems have been solved?

symbolism over substance. it's typical of one part of the political spectrum today.

Facts, with dates. Please feel free to try and prove the graph of when the monuments/statues were erected is incorrect (it's not).

It was the crux of the op-ed. That's what "Being hoisted with your own petard" means.

Robert E Lee... American Traitor. Grant treated him much too kindly.
