Traitors like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, et al? Great Britain didn't honor those men after the revolution, considering them traitors to the crown and, from their point of view, rightly so. Likewise, had the south won their rebellion you might have honored Lee and Jackson but I doubt the North would have.

At one time I owned a book published in the early 1900s called More Queer Things About London (yes, there is a book Queer Things About London). It is about historical oddities in that city. Believe it or not, somewhere in London (I cannot recall where) there is a statue of George Washington.
