Dunno. The bloke was an exceptional military commander and his outlook was completely normal for the time

"In 1865, Lee became president of Washington College (later Washington and Lee University) in Lexington, Virginia; in that position, he supported reconciliation between North and South. Lee accepted "the extinction of slavery" provided for by the Thirteenth Amendment, but opposed racial equality for African Americans. "

Who's struggling with history again?

In fact, General Lee and Abe Lincoln were on the same page:

Not so easy, is it?

[flatandy]

Is his statue up because of his role as President of Washington College, or was it up because of his generalling for an army that was fighting to be allowed to keep humans as chattel?

[perrykneeham]

Maybe it was up because he was a fine tactician and leader.

[voice]

He lead an armed revolt against his country in order to keep people as property so was a traitor, that he was a good general is rather irrelevant in the face of that.

[voice]

And trying to pretend non of his traitorous behavior matters and making excuses for him leading an army specifically to keep the ownership of people is a very odd stance imo

[mids]

I see the left are weepily triggered by a statue again.

[voice]

Not sure Baloo is really that much of a lefty tbh

His country?

[voice]

Yes he was a commissioned officer in the United States Army, he turned traitor and lead the army fighting against the country he swore allegiance to when commissioned.

[flatandy]

Yes. The US.

The United States. No longer united. Have you suffered a recent head trauma?

[flatandy]

Have we suffered a head trauma? You're the one melting down because a different country is taking down a statue of a man who fought to rend that country asunder in order than he and his friends could keep humans as possessions.

[Minge är en jävla besserwisser]

Rome will be in trouble when these clowns get going there.

[voice]

So just cos he left the army of the country he aligned with to join an army of a rebellion against that country this is excusable cos, why, he was good at his job?

Risible nonsense as usual.

Couldn't care less. It's your crappy, confused crap hole that you think we Europeans give a toss about.
