Does this idiot know anything about Robert E. Lee? Lee headed off any talk of continued guerrilla warfare after Appomattox. More important, he worked assiduously after the war to reconcile Southerners and Northerners. Isn’t that what these left wing loonies claim they want - peace and reconciliation?
After the war, Lee was an amazing peacemaker.
It was a horrible NY Congresscritter - the awful Elizabeth Holtzman who denied him his citizenship in the 1970s. Another hater and ignoramus of American history.
I don’t think any leftwingnut knows anything about Lee, but even if they did it would not matter because the left wing is not about reconciliation, forgiveness, or getting along. They want conflict and must insure that hate never dies, it is their only source of energy.
You're not still listening to them, are you?
Wasn’t Lee a West Point graduate?
Well then, shut down West Point.
And ban all white people. (I would love to see some white libtard propose that).
True.
More important, he worked assiduously after the war to reconcile Southerners and Northerners.
Well, he didn't promote continued hatred between the sections. And he did encourage patience and reconciliation, rather than hot-headed rebellion.
But he did keep his distance from Northerners. That's understandable given all that happened, but it's true that he wasn't any kind of activist working energetically for reconciliation. It's more what he didn't do, than what he did that was important.
