Charlottesville’s Robert E. Lee statue has met its end, in a 2,250-degree furnace.
The divisive Confederate monument, the focus of the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in 2017, was secretly melted down and will become a new piece of public art.
I wonder why they would put up a statue of Lee 60 years after the Civil War ended? Was it to intimidate blacks in Charlottesville? Keep them in their place?
See the book “April 1865.” Lee surrendered and did not call for resistance by guerrilla warfare.
“ Not sure this is correct even though there are some ads that act like it is.”
Ads?
Reminds me of GOPe or Rinos who go along despite knowing something is wrong.
The vast majority of great Americans have been Southerners. Yankees have always been, and still are, puritanical scum whose main desire is to impose their will on others.
I suggest they be converted into statues of Kyle Rittenhouse in action.
after all, MLK was the guy who really kicked off the poor black "Im so disadvantaged " movement.
yes, MLK was a racist.
blacks were better off before mlk encouraged them to be more black and less American.

“Lee may have been a traitor, but it’s history.”
You like the Union government we have?
I'm just sayin' that Lee was the guy who was in the situation at the time and he made his choices according to the information he had at the time, and to his own convictions in the matter.
I understand that some will see it differently.
It's not a matter of race, it's our HISTORY!
Well, there are those who say that she really IS fun to party with.
I'm no fan of slavery, and I'm a northerner. But I have to disagree with the statement that Lee was a traitor. All our Founding documents recognize that it was up to the independent States to freely choose to join the Union by a vote of their own representatives. I have never seen a legal agreement stating that after that point, they ceased to be citizens of their States and that the States had no right to leave the Union.
I think the distinction matters. We can see the harm caused by central over-reach in our own times, when the Demo-Communists, unlike their forebears the Confederates, have become bloodthirsty advocates of centralized power (as long as it rolls their way). They go so far as to deny that the States have the responsibility and authority to set the rules of election procedure within their own boundaries and police the integrity of the process of selecting their own electors and representatives.
Maybe Lee was more of a prophet--a patriot who recognized a Federal power grab and the consequences that would follow. The States now lack the power to hold back those in Washington who claim that D.C. alone speaks for its subjects thousands of miles away on any issue bigger than parking tickets.
Where was Youngkin?
This from the global warming Nazi's........
Fie. Melt all statues of Marx, Lenin, 0buttbongo, and other icons of the fascist left! .
All leftists do is destroythings!
“Maybe Lee was more of a prophet—a patriot who recognized a Federal power grab and the consequences that would follow👍
👍
It was obvious then, imagine what a catastrophe it is now!
Good point. When I was in "C'ville" many years ago, even then it had many northern liberal immigrants--plus locals who wanted to copy them.
Most “public art” is ugly and doesn’t make sense. I won’t be looking forward to seeing what they make.
