There are MANY "fine" American heroes equal to the celebrated Lee- and some above him, like Ronald Reagan. But all in all I agree with the article (I AM a historian).
The revisionists don't just stop with re-painting men like Lee, they are also quite busy trying to "taliban" memorials. Right now, they are trying to gin up interest in destroying the memorial at Stone Mountain. This just might be the beginning of "Civil War II"...

I hadn't heard of any agenda against the Stone Mountain Memorial. How organized an effort is there? Any links?

Is Stone Mountain itself private property? I know that Stone Mountain Park is at least privately run by some outfit called "Silver Dollar," but I don't know if they actually own the land around the base of the rock and/or the rock and the carving itself.

I thought they wanted Martin Luther King Jr added to it. At least that was the idea I heard floated back in the early 90's when I lived in Atlanta.
