What idiots...
If I remember correctly, when war broke out Lee was in DC trying to negotiate an end to slavery, and was offered a commission by the Union, which he declined, saying he would not fight against his friends and neighbors just a half hour ride (on horseback) away.
I find it strange that he would do that, fight a war for a cause he didn’t believe in, rather than against it, but I think that’s what I read about it a while back.
Now these people want to melt his statue down to force some sort of idiocy on us, certainly to tell us how evil whitey is, just because he’s white...
what a boondoggle...
Not strange at all. You apparently believe the war was about slavery. It was about states rights.
