TWO points which point out how IGNORANT you are:
1. Lee NEVER owned a single slave ever. his wife received a few slaves from her family, which Lee UNLAWFULLY freed immediately. (Lee was so POOR when stationed at Fortress Monroe, that her family sent the couple CARE PACKAGES, so that the children wouldn't go hungry. the USA paid military officers almost nothing in those days.)

2. reference my people, the American Indian & the hatefilled/racist/cruel damnyankees like Grant/Sheridan/Sherman: do you believe that might makes right???? (is anything you CAN do become OK thereby????)

First: According to the National Park Service, Arlington was 15,000 acres and was run by 250 slaves. So you are wrong on count one.

Second, the treaty at Appromatox was written out by a Colonel Ely Parker, who was born on the Tonawanda Indian Reservation near Buffalo. For a pack of racists, promoting them to Colonel in the army was an unusual step, don't you think?

Not all conflicts are racist, even conflicts between different races may not have race at the root of them. For example the US Army forces in the west had indian scouts. These scouts give the lie to your account of racism.

Zero for two. So, now apologize for your lie, or be forever held as an unrepentent wanna be traitor.

NO APOLOGY NECESSARY because:

1. General Lee NEVER owned Arlington House (in point of fact, the Custis family didn't want her to marry him as he was one of the poorest of their relations.) General Lee had GROSS assets of less than $500US upon his resignation from the US Army. he never lived there for more than about 45 days at a time, and then only as a guest of HER family.

Arlington House belonged to his wife's FAMILY, who did have money, slaves & other property. his wife BRIEFLY had residence at Arlington House just before the WBTS, but as far as the curator of the museum knows, she never had title to the property.

once again, you are either ignorant or a liar. which is it????

2. COL Ely Parker was a traitor to the Seneca nation. the presence of a handfull of renegades & traitors to their respective tribes as auxilliaries to the US army means ZILCH to this conversation;there were Jews who assisted the NAZIs too.

furthermore, you never said whether you believe that "might makes right"???? inquiring minds want to know.

BTW, don't you get tired of knowledgeable people on FR laughing AT you????
