Lee was the commander of the US Marines who captured John Brown at Harpers Ferry (pre-Civil War). I wonder what they are going to do about Lee references at that national park.

People should take some time to read Lee’s biography.
His record at West Point
His service in the Mexican American war
His character and experience which caused him to be offered the leadership of the Union and Confederate armies
The importance of states rights in 1860 thought
His instructions to his troops at Appomattox
His friendship with Grant
His service as President of Washington College
His efforts at reconciliation.
Then look in the mirror and see how you measure up!
