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!!!!

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.

Cherry pick much?

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).
