Robert E. Lee is no hero. Like Jefferson Davis, Lee is a traitor to the United States of America. Period!
Typical yankee girlie man. Your side started the war of Northern Aggression. 100+ years later the South has risen again, stealing your house seats as your population declines..
You are in imbecile.
Learn something, do yourself a favor, before you come on one of these threads. Neither man was a traitor.
I find it very hard to believe that Northern citizens left their families, jobs, and farms, - to take up arms, marched down a thousand miles on foot, to kill their fellow Americans, destroying the land, (Not to mention risking their own lives) just because they had slaves…
I thought it was the States right to succeed anyway?

The North was making “Progress” and “ fundamental Change” Hmmm. Sound familiar ?
Expanding the power of the Federal Government, wanting more “protection” “subsidies “, and “aid” from the Federal Government… Higher tariffs….. “ Free soilers” - wanting free land… Business leaders, who wanted a stronger central government that would protect industry…
Because the South lacked industry, they were forced to buy back finished products - under a credit financing system designed to keep the Southern farmer always in debt…. Prior to the war, New York City had become the realm of banking…
( Right out of a Standard History Book - Just started reading….) People on here claiming to be “conservatives” … Sure sounds like a Federal Government takeover to me.. Taxation without representation, higher tariffs and trade regulation made it impossible for the south to trade.
you should hide your face in shame for such a remark.
