I had two family members that died in Virginia in the war. Both were buried in a cemetery there were thousands of Rebel veterans were interred. One of our family members found out about them doing that ancestry.com searches.

>>If Robert E. Lee is somehow a symbol of white supremacy, then so are George Washington and Thomas Jefferson who are memorialized by many of America’s most notable landmarks.

SSSSSHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

They’re going after Washington and Jefferson, already.

Besides a history buff, I’m an art buff and I’m furious over the desecration of fine art.

Robert E. Lee was one of the finest Americans to have ever lived.

Without a shadow of a doubt, a paragon of military leadership excellence, and a man of great character and humility. Neither Gens. Austin nor Milley would have been fit to lick his boots!

Bring it to my house. They can put it up here.

I’m waiting for some deep-pockets Southern philanthropist to make plans for a private theme park with enough ground to erect suitable statuary for every distinguished man and woman who served the Confederacy with distinction during the Civil War.

Since the British had promised to free slaves fighting for the crown in the War of 1812, that too could be argued to have been a war about slavery.

The British also offered to free slaves in the American war of independence. Lord Dunmore's proclamation is an example of this.

The only difference between the American war of independence and the Southern war of independence is that Lincoln was willing to accept far more bloodshed to impose his will than was King George III. Also the propaganda never stopped in the Southern war of independence, and indeed is still continuing on today.

This isn’t even funny. Lee was one of the most decent and honorable men in US history. Every school child should be taught about General Robert E Lee. You simply cannot tell the story of America without him!

“Borders, Language and Culture” Dr. Savage, on the definition of a nation. Borders are gone, our president can’t speak English, and now we are tearing down our own legacy? I never thought I’d live to see this day. Lee is part and parcel to our legacy!.....our common heritage!

He was a better man than any of you.

By far. Any comparison whatever would be a terrible insult to General Lee, one of America’s greatest heroes.

Up in Kentucky near Fort Campbell, I was out driving one time and came upon a memorial to Jefferson Davis I believe it was along the side of the highway at some park thing. It was shaped exactly like the Washington Monument on the mall in Sodom on the Potomac (D.C. to the commies). I wonder if they will go tear that down.? You cannot simply move it. It is tall, but not as large as the Washington one.

True. He was the only general I know of who could be humble and keep the respect of his subordinates.
