The American people need to accept the fact that those who engaged in lawless rebellion against the United States, treason, war crimes, and crimes against humanity deserve no monuments, no commemoration – Lee in particular.
During the Gettysburg campaign in Maryland Lee authorized the capture of freedmen and their return to slavery – clearly a war crime and crime against humanity.
To ‘honor’ Lee and his fellow war criminals is as reprehensible as it is wrong.
