That is certainly your opinion.

One was a traitor to his nation and led the enemy causing hundreds of thousands of dead. The other was a dictator that dragged his country into a war that led to hundreds of thousands of dead Italian troops and civilians at the hands of the Germans.

The other two are the first African American President, and the oldest US President to date.

• Italy does not have monuments to Mussolini. The Fascist Party (PNF or Partito Nazionale Fascista) was dissolved in 1943 and has been outlawed by the Italian Republic ever since the war. All the visible symbols of the party — the fascio, murals, slogans, etc were removed from public buildings at the war's end.

R E Lee was a great American. The land that is now Arlington cemetary was given to the USA by Lee. He freed his slaves (which he inherited) before the war. He spoke out against slavery many times. There is no more reason to remove his statues than there is to remove Lincoln's.

You obviously know nothing about this topic and are merely repeating lies that have been implanted in your tiny brain.

Rome is a very old city, by most estimates, over 2800 years old. You can literally wander from the 8th century BC to the 21st century in a day’s walk. The architectural styles of Rome are just…

History of Arlington National Cemetery

After the Lees abandoned the property at the start of the Civil War, the U.S. Army seized Arlington Estate on the morning of May 24, 1861 to defend Washington, D.C. From the property's heights, rifled artillery could range every federal building in the nation's capital. The estate was seized not to punish the Custis-Lee family, but rather for its strategic value. Three forts were built on the property during the Civil War: Fort Cass/Rosslyn, Fort Whipple/Fort Myer and Fort McPherson (currently Section 11 of the cemetery). Beginning in June 1863, a large Freedman’s Village, established for freed and escaped slaves, was established in what today are Sections 3, 4, 8, 18 and 20.

On May 13, 1864, the first military burial was conducted for Private William Christman. Brigadier General Montgomery Meigs, Quartermaster General of the U.S. Army, who was responsible for the burial of soldiers, ordered Arlington Estate used for a cemetery. The existing D.C.-area national cemeteries (Soldiers’ Home and Alexandria National Cemeteries) were running out of space — both closed on the day that burials began at Arlington.

Arlington officially became a national cemetery on June 15, 1864, by order of Secretary of War Edwin Stanton. The original cemetery was 200 acres, and has since grown to 639 acres (as of early 2020). Arlington became a segregated cemetery, just like all national cemeteries at the time, and remained segregated by race and rank until 1948, when President Harry S. Truman desegregated the military. The primary burial ground for white Civil War soldiers became Section 13. Meanwhile, Section 27 became the area for African American soldiers and freed people; more than 3,800 freed African Americans are buried in Section 27.

He freed his slaves (which he inherited) before the war.

Nope. try again.

Robert E. Lee and Slavery - Arlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial (U.S. National Park Service)

n 1857, Lee’s father-in-law, George Washington Parke Custis died, and Lee became the executor of his will. Custis owned 197 enslaved people at the time of his death on three plantations. In his will, Custis directed that the enslaved people be freed after the payment of legacies and debts and within five years.[10] Lee then became the manager of these enslaved people. There is often confusion with Lee’s personal ownership of enslaved people and managing his late father-in-law’s enslaved people, whom Lee did not own.

The time of Lee’s management of the Arlington plantation between 1858 and 1861 was marked with strife and discord. Many of the enslaved people believed they would be freed immediately at Custis’ death. Lee was a strict disciplinarian and some enslaved people defied Lee’s orders or attempted to seek the freedom they felt had been promised by the late Custis. In that regard, Lee wrote to his son that Custis had “left me an unpleasant legacy.”[11] Wesley Norris, who was enslaved by Custis, recalled how Lee ordered the whipping of himself and two others who tried to free themselves from Arlington House by running north.[12] Lee often rented enslaved people to other plantations or owners to avoid managing them. Forced to adhere to the confines of Custis’ will, Lee continued to keep the enslaved people working to pay off the debts and legacies. He sought to see if the state of Virginia could allow him to continue working them past the five year mark. However, the state refused and Lee executed a deed of manumission for all the enslaved people in the Custis estate in December of 1862, ending Lee’s personal management of enslaved people. He would hire at least two former enslaved people from the Custis estate, Perry and George Parks. They were freed in December 1862 and then hired by Lee to act as cooks during the Civil War. They were paid $8.20 per month.[13]

He spoke out against slavery many times. There is no more reason to remove his statues than there is to remove Lincoln's.

Lincoln didn't try to destroy the Union.

Funny thing is that the Union Jack was the flag that flew from the stern of slave ships for 200 years. When are the Brits going to tear down the statues of slave trading pirates?

As to Lincoln, why are his statues being defaced and torn down? What did he do wrong in the emancipation proclamation?

same question for the Dutch and the African slave traders.

defend treason??????????????? How about the Biden treason that is going on right now via Hunter? Selling access to senile joe for millions of which joe (the big guy) gets a cut. The same treason is being played out through the kids of Pelosi, Romney, and Kerry who are also being paid huge sums to sit on a Ukrainian gas company board so Ukraine can blackmail their parents.

Both deliberately engineering the complete collapse of the nation. They call it transformation.

Lee and his family owned the property of Arlington Cemetary before the Civil War. After, the land was taken from Lee and established the National Cemetary. You really are a damn liar!!!

Lee was a treasonous war criminal who fought to defend slavery.

He merits no monument.

Conservatives who defend Lee are scum.

Not hard to understand.

The land for the cemetery wasn't given to the USA by Lee; it was ultimately sold to the USA by Lee's son.

He received most, but not all, of his slaves through his father-in-law's will. He released them during the war (not before it), because it was a provision of his father-in-law's will, and only after he unsuccessfully sued to keep them.

And regardless of his own personal slaves, he led an army against the United States, in order to protect the institution from abolition. Lincoln commanded the army that defended the United States. That makes them polar opposites.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

You are the revisionist

For 110 years historians and common people knew that the war was about far more than just race

Then the lib revisionists came along

The war was about treasonous war criminals who sought to destroy America in defence of slavery.
