Anyone who knows any REAL facts about general Lee should be embarrassed/pissed by this BS. He didn't lead the confederate army because he was pro slavery. He lead lead the army because he was a Virginian and believed in states rights.

The left in this country is rewriting history as fast as they can.

He sure enjoyed the hell out of the benefits of the slaves his wife inherited. So much that he went to court to keep them enslaved when their prior owner's will said to turn them loose unless economically necessary for the plantation.

If your great great grandpa was one of those slaves, you might not look fondly on the statue of the general.
