If Lee was such a monster and lincoln a saint, why did Lincoln beg Lee to take command of all Northern Troops at the start of the Civil War.???

jan 1 20o20 Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) filed a request for a bill that would replace Virginia’s statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee in the United States Capitol building.

The governor filed a drafting request for legislation that would outline a process to remove the statue on Monday, Dec. 23, in addition to choosing a replacement for the confederate leader, Northam spokeswoman Alena Yarmosky confirmed to The Hill in a statement. The state has two statues in the National Sanctuary Hall Collection in the Capitol.

The filing came after two Virginia Democratic lawmakers, Reps. Jennifer Wexton and A. Donald McEachin, both requested that Northam prioritize removing the Lee statue as one of the state’s statues in the Capitol.

"These statutes aimed to rewrite Lee’s reputation from that of a cruel slave owner and Confederate General to portraying him as a kind man and reluctant war hero who selflessly served his home state of Virginia,” Wexton and McEachin wrote in a letter last week.

“As Virginians, we have a responsibility to not only learn from but also confront our history,” they added. “As part of this responsibility, we must strive for a more complete telling of history by raising up the voices, stories, and memories of minorities and people of color.”

Yes - Northam is the politician with the Klan costume fetish as was exposed last year. A repub would have been finished after that but Big Media let Northam stay on since he is a liberal extremist.

That's not it. Lincoln had many slave-owning generals fighting for the Union and he didn't object a bit if Lee was one of them.. Proves the liberals lie when they say Lincoln wanted to free the slaves. THINK

Lee led an army whose goal was to destroy the Union. He fought Americans and killed many thousands of them. It is estimated 620,000 people died in the Civil War. Yeah, Lee was a real hero.

HAhaHA. What an outrageous lie. The south did not want to destroy the Union. They just wanted to secede like the original 13 colonies did.

That's what i said, you idiot. The war was NOT about slavery. Lee was a good general and lincoln wanted him on his side and he didn't care how many slaves Lee had.
