I does not matter what he opposed in private. He supported the Confederacy, killed men that opposed him to preserve the institution of slavery. That’s the sum of it. Those are simple facts.
And the fact that you started your post with insults speaks volumes about you.
The Confederacy was an oppressive regime built on the backs of slaves. Robert E. Lee as are all that fought for the Confederacy are not worthy of public honor. They should be footnoted in history and their statues should not be on a public square but in museums.
They were traitors, racists, and rebels that were worthy of being crushed for taking up arms against the Union. I know that hurts your feelings but fact’s don’t care about your feelings.
ill-educated was not an insult. It was a fact.
