Generals Washington, Grant and Patton would disagree.

No way to prove it, but strongly suspect that both Grant and Patton understood that Lee was their better.

How many other countries honor traitors who lost? Lee decided protecting Virginia and the institution of slavery was more important than protecting his country.

If Lee had accepted the offer to command the northern army, what exactly would he have been protecting the northern states from?

Just watched the governor, Mr. Coon Man himself, giving a speech about the joy of removing this symbol of racial injustice. These people have no sense of shame...

Who would you rather leave your pregnant daughter with? Robert E. Lee or George Floyd?
