Civil rights my ass. Lee did far more for civil rights than any tin statue they put up to replace him.
More participation trophies to spread the lie that only leftists make progress.
Has anyone heard anything about the statue park that Trump spoke about creating during his July 4 speech ?
Two of Washington's closest associates in winning our liberty were Lee's father and uncle. Men like Lee epitomized the Founders' posterity,, the liberty of whom was the stated purpose of the Revolution & the Constitution that followed. Truly this is the theatre of the absurd!!
Have the Leftist betrayers of the heritage of Virginia ever read the Preamble to the Constitution? Did any of them understand it? Will no one rise to defend the noble men who created the institutions being betrayed?
Lee fought on the side of those who advocated for the preservation of slavery. He fought on the wrong side.
He should not be honored and thus the southern cause to preserve “that peculiar institution” should not be respected.
And states rights was at best a secondary issue so pushing that up as being the primary reason the south rebelled is bogus.
