You're going to inflame the riff-raff again.

Ooops! Is this subject one of those ongoing Freeper battles, like drug legalization? What, exactly, is the bone of contention?

Next to George Washington, Robert E Lee, is arguably the finest and noblest American! Also unreported by the politically correct historians, was the fact that Lee recognized the humanity of the newly freed blacks. This was most poignantly displayed one Sunday morning in 1865 in his church; when the priest called for the earnestly repentant to come forward to take communion, a black man from the back was the first to come kneel at the altar. The rest of the congregation held back, appalled, confused, etc. After a few moments of the awkward silence, an elder white man came forward and knelt down beside the man and took communion with him. Such was the nature of Lee's leadership, by example.
