[Lee wasn't having protests in the streets . He took up arms against his country !!!
I guess you just don't read or choose to get it. General Lee was a General in the Confederacy. He was FIGHTING AGAINST THE UNION, and the Confederacy had seceded from them! It was TWO separate factions fighting for dominance and control of the N. American continent. People die in war. It's not treason or a crime, it is WAR. The Confederacy LOST and the the Union WON, and we took back those 11 states. Had Ulysses S. Grant been in the Confederate Army, you'd be saying the same things about him. Instead, he became your president. It is all a matter of perspective. If Lee had been a "criminal" just because of the side he fought on, there wouldn't have been statues erected to him all across the South. I have no love of the man but personally, I want all those statues to stay just were they've been for 150 years. I don't want my history rewritten for future generations just to make it all cleaned up pretty and sounding better!
Yes . That's why he's a traitor! Dress is up all you want , he's still a traitor !
You know Arlington cemetery was Lees property? The gov took it and made it a military cemetery to put the bodies of those Lee killed . An FU to that traitor .
Guess what . George Washington was a traitor to England . But two things
1) England doesn't have statutes praising him
2) the colonies didn't have the representation that the south states had with America .
