Iv always thought it to be proper to call confederate leaders treasonous, but rarely hear it. I agree they belong in museums not still out in a park or wherever glorifying those that waged war on the United States of America.... good riddens long overdue.

It's time for the South to stop glorifying their fight to be able to continue to enslave other human beings.

I heard a lot of stupid shit come out of white people's mouths when I lived in the South, such as, "I'm not prejudiced against any individual black person, but I am against the race as a whole". WTF does that even mean? The person who said it couldn't give a coherent explanation, either.

Yes, Dick Spencer, the Duke graduate student who quit because he couldn't pass his comprehensive exams has been rousing some rabble. He got this torch-lit procession of fellow Nazis to march around Charlottesville, Virginia.

From the history of Confederate symbols--these were erected by the children of Confederate veterans (for the most part) some 30-40 years after the conflict had ended, and they coincided with the revising or rewriting of ex-Confederate state constitutions to encode racial discrimination and white supremacy into the respective states' governments.

And the statues of people like Lee or Davis especially are completely inappropriate. Both warred against the United States after previously swearing to defend the U.S. against all foes foreign and domestic. Not only that, but Lee and Davis were reviled by southerners during the war. Lee was called "king of spades" for leading crews of slaves in building defenses of Richmond in 1861 and 1862. After he was elevated to commanding general of Army of Northern Virginia, both Richmond and Charleston papers raked his battle tactics over the coals, and warned him that the South didn't have that many men to serve as mere cannon fodder (casualty rates in Lee's army approached 50%).

Davis was even more hated, so hated that when he fled the Confederacy in the spring of 1865, very few southerners assisted him and even sold information to the Yankees who quickly discovered the Confederate president wearing a frock like a peasant girl.

Anyone defending these Nazis please spare me the bit about concealment of history. The entire records of the war exist at various archival libraries across the nation, and the Complete Papers of the Confederacy are bound and can be obtained at any American library through interlibrary loan. That's where the real history of the Civil War can be found--not in statutes honoring treasonous southern officials that were erected some four decades after the war ended.

Why did Lincoln want Lee to lead the Union army again, tell me?

You're a white boy in California, your opinion is disingenuous on this subject.

So you dismiss my opinion outright on the basis of my skin color and the state I was born in?

Symbols matter. What those statues in public spaces stood for is morally indefensible. Unless you're racist.

What does a statue of Robert E. Lee stand for?

Lincoln offered Lee the position of commanding the Union army before Grant
