“He possessed every virtue of other great commanders without their vices. He was a foe without hate; a friend without treachery; a victor without oppression, and a victim without murmuring. He was a public officer without vices; a private citizen without reproach; a Christian without hypocrisy and a man without guile. He was a Caesar without his ambition; Frederick without his tyranny; Napoleon without his selfishness, and Washington without his reward. He was obedient to authority as a servant, and loyal in authority as a true king. He was gentle as a woman in life; modest and pure as a virgin in thought; watchful as a Roman vital in duty; submissive to law as Socrates, and grand in battle as Achilles!”

Lee did the most honorable thing of all by cleaning surrendering when the war was lost.
The North's biggest fear was that the South would basically dissolve their armies and engage in a gorilla campaign that would last decades if not centuries.

I'm shocked the John Brown statues have'nt started going up.
The Snowflakes are slipping, or just too stupid to know what John Brown was.

Progressives ushered in the New Puritanism and only Correct History was allowed. A historical PURGE swept through the Culture , no incorrect history allowed, like an edited Disney movie for Progressives.

You might be trashy to. I am sure that you are. But I know for a fact that you are a Horse's arse.

Understand that southerners are loathe to insult people. We do it only in extreme, and when someone has acted in very poor taste.

You Sir would prefer a horse's pa-toot?

What, exactly, should Lee be honored for?
I'm being serious. What did he ever accomplish that was great?
List them all.

Apart from bring universally acknowledged as one the greatest military minds in the history of the earth?
His accomplishments were as such Lincoln offered him command of the Union army before his greatest feats had even begun.

He sacrificed himself for the honour of Virginia. No truer a calling.
I understand that sacrifice and honour are an anathema to today's blissfully ignorant set.
