The Naming Commission is trying to strip Robert E Lee

Sure...why not.

There's more honor in Lee's fingernail than there is the entirety of Woke Point.

This shithole isn't worth a Bobby Lee. Give all the honors to the First Black Transvestite Kiddie Diddler with 9 Fingers of the week and be done with it.

Don't give a shite about Robert E. Lee

Another fricking Democrat that should have to have all of his statues/schools/roads/buildings/whatever that have been named after him, plastered with a racist democrat sign.

They might, but there is a difference. The Founding Fathers either owned or condoned ownership of slaves. Robert E. Lee killed 100s of thousands of American soldiers in a fight to preserve slavery.

While your summation of history in the above is absolute shite, Robert E. Lee was a democrat after all

It’s not the school it used to be.

I wish some entrepreneur would buy up all the statues being torn down

Build a park/museum

Have experts on sight to give tours and teach visitors history


Build it and they will come

he Convention met from February 3 – December 6, 1861, and elected John Janney its presiding officer. The majority at first voted to remain in the Union, but stayed in session awaiting events. Conditional Unionists objected to Lincoln's call for state quotas to suppress the rebellion, and switched from their earlier Unionist vote to secession on April 17.

Again they stayed until Lincoln called for states for troops to suppress the rebellion. Which really wasn't a rebellion since the lawfully elected governments had voted to leave, consent of the governed I believe it's called, Lincoln's war, everything I said is correct.

Lincoln didn't call on Americans to join the Army and fight the rebellious democrats until South Carolina fired on Fort Sumpter on April 15

Correct, but Virginia had held off secession waiting to see if the cotton states could work out something less than a new country and the fight that would go with it.The Virginia Convention had handily voted down secession in February of 1861. They voted it down again on April 4th.

Once Lincoln called for troops (asking for 2300 men from Virginia/, the Governor John Letcher – a Lexington moderate who loved the Union – responded to Lincoln’s call with defiance. “You object,” Letcher stated to the President, “is to subjugate the Southern States, and a requisition made upon me (for troops) for such an object….will not be complied with. You have chosen to inaugurate civil war, and having done so, we (in Virginia) will meet it in a spirit as determined as (your) administration had exhibited toward the South”.

The next day the Virginia Convention revoted, this time boring 88-55 to secede.
