Shameful. Lee did much to re-invigorate the college during his tenure as president of the university after the war. Regardless of his Civil War deeds, his postwar work for the school helped save it from failure.
People should take some time to read Lee’s biography.
His record at West Point
His service in the Mexican American war
His character and experience which caused him to be offered the leadership of the Union and Confederate armies
The importance of states rights in 1860 thought
His instructions to his troops at Appomattox
His friendship with Grant
His service as President of Washington College
His efforts at reconciliation.
Then look in the mirror and see how you measure up!
Robert E. Lee did much to bring the country back together in the postwar years.
They only care about erasing history.
