He was an American imperialist and an oppressor of natives. Why would anyone against Confederate statues support him?

and New Orleans should erect several memorials to black New Orleanians including plaques identifying various slave auction sites throughout the city. Then return Lee to Lee circle.

I think they should build a new ROTC building and name it after him.

No. We shouldn't create any new statues, memorials, or namings for any person who had anything to do with the Civil War.
I'm also in favor of no statues, memorials, or namings for any person, ever again.
As a society we lack the maturity to understand the flaws in each other and in historical figures. A person can do 100 things right, but it's always the one thing they do wrong that we never let go of.
So my view... no more naming things and making statues to honor certain individuals. Let that be a practice relegated to the past. The future will be too childish and petty to tolerate statues of people.

Only if he has a torch in one hand and a scalp in the other while raping a woman.

Because in the new found hyper patriotism of those on the left regarding the reason for taking down the statues, I thought putting up a statue to a guy that defeated the Confederates in a place in the South where he's not universally despised would be great.
Then I would watch the SJW's get their panties all in a wad over Sherman's post war activities with Sheridan leading the dirty work out west.
At least Sherman was NO traitor

Uncle Billy!
When he burned the bridge so freed slaves couldn't follow any more will that be a strike.
He was right regarding Atlanta

Sherman gave the 40 acres and a mule order that still results in calls for reparations.

We have been taught in school that the source of the policy of “40 acres and a mule” was Union General William T. Sherman’s Special Field Order No. 15, issued on Jan. 16, 1865. (That account is half-right: Sherman prescribed the 40 acres in that Order, but not the mule. The mule would come later.) But what many accounts leave out is that this idea for massive land redistribution actually was the result of a discussion that Sherman and Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton held four days before Sherman issued the Order, with 20 leaders of the black community in Savannah, Ga., where Sherman was headquartered following his famous March to the Sea. The meeting was unprecedented in American history.
PBS on Sherman
Dawgfanman didn't know he originally called for it.
He gave LSU some books
