Davis: His U.S. citizenship wasn’t restored until 1978

That's rather amusing. It means that so far as the US Government was concerned, he really did gain independence from the US. So for 117 years, he was a Citizen of the CSA. :)

And after all that trouble Lincoln went to to refuse to admit they ever left.

Robert E. Lee is an odd hero for the Klan and Neo-confederates.

he generally opposed slavery
he opposed secession
he supported the reconciliation and reconstruction and did much to bring the Union back together
which is why he was revered in the North and the South
He opposed the Klan and supported equality of the races after the war
The stars and stripes were his flag after the war. Not the Confederate flag

The Stars and Stripes are our only flag. The lefties have their rainbow flag. McAulliffe and company have more in common with the Radical Republicans bent on vengeance.
William Tecumseh Sherman belongs on the UVA campus

No, it means that he was a man without a country for all those years.
