Great or not Lee is an important figure in US history....as are individuals like Martin Luther King.To take down statues of any such figure is wrong in more ways than I can count.

Of course Robert E Lee was a great general! They still study his tactics at West Point, among other leading military academies!!!!

"Not a single one of them would pass muster by the standards of today's anachronizing blowhards."
"Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. met with the German Ambassador to Great Britain, Herbert von Dirksen, in June 1938. Dirksen later informed Baron Ernst von Weizsaecker, State Secretary of the German Foreign Ministry, that Kennedy told him that the “Jewish question” was of vital importance to U.S.-German relations. 'He himself understood our Jewish policy completely,' Dirksen wrote. 'He was from Boston and there, in one golf club, and in other clubs, no Jews had been admitted in the past 50 years … In the United States, therefore, such pronounced attitudes were quite common, but people avoided making so much outward fuss about it.'"

It would be interesting if we could question the 19th century generals about how they would rate today’s ignorant masses as to morality.

One Nation The period in American history known as reconstruction when blacks were given the vote (then restricted) gets the revisionist treatment or ignored because it doesn’t fit into the socialists agenda which calls for division. The reason those monuments in question are placed, honoring men who fought for their cause when after defeat did not continue on. But rather chose to accept and support the result to unuify the country

Lee was fighting for STATES RIGHTS.
Rights that the states were promised when they joined the union.
Slavery was just a vehicle.
Imagine if the Federal government forced them to do something else, besides get rid of their slaves?
Like buy health care.

President Lincoln recognized Lee’s great military skills, indeed Lincoln offered Lee the command of the entire American armies (before Virginia, Lee’s home state, seceded).

Not equating the 2 but Ghengis Khan was a great general, too. But I’m sure that old Ghengis’ ideas about personal liberty and the Laws of Warfare are not up for debate today. So why should R.E. Lee’s be relevant? If you’re looking for perfect people among historical figures you might find 1, but no more than that.
