I know about the Civil War and what role the traitor Robert E.Lee played in it. This is all about exposing revisionists like you and holding accountable the actions of one of the the most infamous figures in American history. There is nothing great about Lee. He trampled on the Constitution and his behavior was a disgrace to the USA. A shameful and despicable individual. The fact his family home was turned into America's national memorial cemetery, says it all and punctuates his treason for all to see.

O.k. If you like yankees so much maybe you'll buy the war trophies my ancestors took off of dead northern soldiers.

“This is all about exposing revisionists like you and holding accountable the actions of one of the the most infamous figures in American history.”

So you’ve never been to Gettysburg? Unsurprising, given the vitriol you display for Lee - you just don’t know. You are exposing no one but yourself and your ignorance of America and great Americans. He was indeed “one of the noblest Americans who ever lived” as Winston Churchill observed.

Maybe you have Robert E Lee confused with Spike Lee?

"There is nothing great about Lee. He trampled on the Constitution and......"

How did Gen. Lee trample on the Constitution?? Did he do something that is not permissible under that document??

Please be precise.

“The fact his family home was turned into America’s national memorial cemetery, says it all and punctuates his treason for all to see.”

I believe that it’s also “a fact” that one of Lee’s sons sued to have Arlington returned. The case went to the Supreme Court, which eventually ruled IN LEE’S FAVOR (emphasis intentional). In a great gesture, the Lee family agreed to receive compensation for the property, instead of the actual return of Arlington to their ownership (to which they were legally entitled).

Arlington was, in effect, “given to” the American people by the Lee family....

One of the most ironic events in US history was the Union’s desire to desecrate Lee’s estate to the point of making it uninhabitable by turning it in to a cemetery. In doing so it has become the country’s most hallowed ground.
