Court told them to pay 150k for it. Nothing to do with respect.
paying for land won via Conquest? Seems like a cut and dry case there.

And yet you didn't realize that Lee was publicly shamed by Lincoln's cabinet and Meigs during the war. Maybe you should read relevant things next time?
You mean you're not supposed to talk bad about your opponents while you're fighting them in a war?! No wayyyyyy!!!!! Why don't you read some post war memoirs. Where they talk highly of lee? Or how about abe talking about lee pretty war?
It's called war time propaganda. This really is embarrassingly easy. You're lack of historical knowledge is glaringly obvious. If wager the only material you've read about the Civil War was what was written in your high school history book. Not one single memoir or first hand account has been read by your ignorant arse. And it's extremely easy to see via your outlandish statements.

It empowers the far left who believe they have the right to forcibly remove/silence anything that offends them,
ANTIFA should now realize that attacking White Nationalist Groups and Nazi groups will be permitted by Law Enforcement. They should now realize that LE will not be inclined to arrest ANTIFA. They should now realize that LE will not make any arrest against any person who vandalizes or destroys a Confederate monument on public property.
Seems to me that this message is loud and clear and it is a clear invitation to: COMMENCE THE LEFTIST REVOLUTION NOW.

You should read this
Surely you know this, since you're a scholar on the subject by your own word, but Arlington was taken due to failure to pay an insurrection tax on property in person - but Lee's wife made a good faith effort to pay it. SCOTUS found that this was an unlawful taking of property, in the 1870s. The govt then bought the land back from Lee's son in order to not have to disinter the bodies and vacate the fort that were there.
Pretty cut and dry, but surely you knew that already!

You clearly said that everyone respected him. So respected, in fact, they fricked up his land in the most public way possible.

The important thing is for you to go to sleep at night knowing that you "helped defeat racism" today.

Cute Google. But the fact remains. They paid for the land and for what they did to the land. You don't pay your defeated enemies for destroying their land. If anything. They pay you. Spoils of war. Also, by making it a cemetery, they guaranteed that it would be kept up and everyone would know who's house it was, as well as its history.
If you don't respect your enemy, you level their homes. Spread the ashes. And leave nothing there that marks your enemy was there. You wipe their existence off the planet. They did the opposite.

Read the pre and post war memoirs you stupid shite. Look at what we said about the Japanese during the war. Look what we said after the war. Lee was unanimously respected by his counterparts on the union side.
You literally have zero to back your claim up except "well they took his home!!!"
Get a fricking life. You are beyond ignorant of history and im actually embarrassed FOR you.

Agreed. Lincoln's war cabinet so wanted to shame Lee that they ruined his plantation in what they believed would be an irrevocable way - more absolute than burning, more final than salting the earth.

They're trying to start a race war. Not sure why, they don't have the numbers and the dear leader isn't in the White House anymore.

It reminds me of the Iraqis ripping down Saddam statues.
US troops tore down the Sadaam statue.(Just a drop in the bucket of the wasted several Trillions of dollars wasted in Iraq though).
US government also blew up Nazi symbols & banned public display of them along with other Denazification efforts. Just as former Soviet Republics have taken down THOUSANDS of statues to leaders/ Communist monuments. History isn't being erased ,but Honorific public monuments are .

By ensuring it would be kept up in pristine condition, not razed, and made into a national monument. Sure did show him!
