re: Robert E. Lee has been misrepresented by regressive "historians"

Some of ya'll need a little history lesson so I'm going to help you out.

1. Robert E. Lee did IN FACT, own slaves. Yes, he eventually emancipated his father in laws slaves, but only after he used them, for years, to his financial advantage.
2. According to Lee himself ""The painful discipline they are undergoing is necessary for their instruction as a race... How long their subjugation may be necessary is known and ordered by a wise Merciful Providence," He was talking about slavery being necessary for african american's so that they could become civilized...like they were animals...
3. He killed more americans than any opposing general in U. S. History.
4. He 100% supported the succession of the southern states from the country you now live in.
5. He fought as a confederate general to wholeheartedly defend the right to own slaves.
6. The Liberty Place obelisk that was removed was the rallying ground for David Duke. Yes, that David Duke (ya know, with the KKK)
7. If I see one more post asking for the removal of a Martin Luther king Jr. statue because New Orleans chose to remove statues that represent HATE to many people (even white people....) I am going to scream. silently. But still.
8. For those of you who don't know, MLK Jr. believed in the equality of ALL people regardless of their race or gender. He was probably one of the least hateful, least prejudice people to walk the planet. His message was love. And some of ya'll need some love apparently.
Please stop believing everything you read on Facebook and read some nonfiction.
