So courageous of you to pass remarks about my opinions without telling me.
No, I don’t support the banning of Lee’s portrait.
I once had a very nice picture of Lee, a present from a friend, riding with his arm in a sling, in front of a rank of men during the battle of Antietam. I eventually gave it to my brother, who I think still has it. It was done up by a fairly celebrated civil war artist.
Lee as a judge of human talent was a flawed human, as we are all flawed humans. He was highly responsible for inflicting Hood, the confederate general who burned Atlanta, on the western theater. He was a competent engineer, who laid out the entrenchments around Richmond, and his performance in Mexico gave great promise.
I never heard of him doing anything illegal except during the insurrection, and a great many people were deluded by the slave power into supporting the insurrection, so that wouldn’t make him uniquely bad.
Slavery was bad. It institutionalized rape, kidnapping and torture. It gave sociopaths opportunity to do truly horrible things without breaking the law.
The war to promote, protect, and extend slavery was a bad cause.
There is difference between the hate opinions you spew and the NAACP.
