Local idiots viciously fought against a statue of Robert E Lee [finally] being erected in the Sharpsburg/Antietam Battlefield national park.

They felt the presence of any “tribute” to him was “innapropriate”.

Some other local guy paid for a piece of land and Marse Robert’s statue now stands on the periphery of the battlefield.

I'm northern, but regard Lee as one of the great men of American history. I hope the Southerners never forget their brave and heroic past.

I wonder when the Left is going to notice that many military bases are named after great Confederate leaders (A.P. Hill, for one)?
