Robert E. Lee is an odd hero for the Klan and Neo-confederates.

he generally opposed slavery
he opposed secession
he supported the reconciliation and reconstruction and did much to bring the Union back together
which is why he was revered in the North and the South
He opposed the Klan and supported equality of the races after the war
The stars and stripes were his flag after the war. Not the Confederate flag

The Stars and Stripes are our only flag. The lefties have their rainbow flag. McAulliffe and company have more in common with the Radical Republicans bent on vengeance.
William Tecumseh Sherman belongs on the UVA campus

Not sure where you are trying to go with this. I didn't address Robert E Lee, the Klan, or anything else you mentioned.

My position is that the Foundation document of this country proclaims that people have a right to Independence if they wish it, and that this right come from "Nature and Nature's God..."

I just take the position that the founders meant what they said when they formed this nation based on that principle.
