And, even though Lee participated in a rebellion to overthrow the United States government, it should not be forgotten that he was ecstatic that slavery was abolished.

Thanks in part to people like Robert E Lee, slavery is gone now - gone for good- and no amount of arguing is going to bring it back.

He was not a fan of slavery even on a personal level - he had a lot of headaches with the ones at Arlington. But, he was stuck with them.
