Rep. Tyrone Brooks, D-Atlanta, who marched with King, said he didn't try to block the hanging of Lee's portrait in the Capitol either.
"I've never objected. I've learned to accept the reality of the fact that people want to honor him ... as long as there can be true diversity," Brooks said. "... I just want the complete history represented."
I can dig it.

Black leaders in the House said they didn't raise any objection because they're more concerned about being able to celebrate their own historical figures. The d'yankee south haters will be along shortly , they ain't gonna like that black politicians didn't complain about this.

There were 650,000 total lost on both sides, not millions.
He also had the option of getting hundreds of thousands slaughtered and winning.

How would you do it differently? You certainly couldn't have done it better. You certainly could have done it worse.

Lee was offered the command of Lincoln's army but felt he couldn't be disloyal to his native Virginia. He may have been on the wrong side but no one can doubt his integrity.

Just think, if he was still alive he would hold the Guinness world record for oldest person in the world. What a tragedy, someday we will cure the disease of death.

One big bump for that picture. Wonderful. The only cadet to ever go through the US Military Academy without a single demerit.

Perhaps America's most over-rated general.

"Wrong side" and "losing" are debatable, anyway.
