Who fires first doesn't determine who starts a war, dumbass. If German troops march into Poland, and then Polish troops fire on them, who started the war?The South fires first. It was an act of war against their government.
How can Lincoln “invade” his own country?
How do you figure?Saying Lee was an honorable man isn't that terrible. Saying the civil war could have been averted through compromise is a much more egregious statement.
If you are judging Lee by the standards of today he's not if you are judging him by the standards of the time he lived in he is. Trying to judge people who lived 150 to 200 years ago by todays standards is pretty dumb.

The Civil War could have been prevented simply by Lincoln choosing not to order the invasion of Virginia.
After lying about an African American Congresswoman, John Kelly called the pro- slavery man in charge of trying to break up the USA an "honorable man".
Axios on Twitter
This sure will dispel the belief that Kelly is racist.
well, hell, what's a little treason among friends
Nothing racist in noticing a man's character...After lying about an African American Congresswoman, John Kelly called the pro- slavery man in charge of trying to break up the USA an "honorable man".

What white historians agree lacks any credibility. Its like monkeys saying another monkey is cool. Lee was an ass muncher and mentally weak as well as morally corrupt.All you have is screwed up black history. No truth in that. But historians agree that Lee was an honorable man and that settles the issue.Lee was a ass munching loser and traitor. No honor in that.Lee was an honorable man and one of high integrity.
The black congresswoman had a chance to be a congresswoman and chose to be black.
Why are you bringing the jaboni's into this debate.
Because Lee was a jaboni.
/----/ Even Yankee soldiers respected Lee. He had become a symbol of Southern resistance to the Union armies and was made an icon of the Lost Cause in the post-war South. Today, he remains internationally respected as a daring, often brilliant tactician, a gentleman who never referred to Northern soldiers as “the enemy” but as “those people over there,” a man who opposed secession but felt honor-bound to serve his native state. He applied for restoration of his American citizenship, but the papers were lost until the 1970s, when his wish was granted. Robert E. Lee | HistoryNetIf you read American history, then you would know John Kelly was right. Robert E Lee was an honorable man. Try reading.

/----/ No, it was a way the South rationalized the War of Yankee Aggression after a defeat. I grew up in the south in the 1950s and 60s. Remember the slave owners were Democrats and the Yankees who defeated them were Republicans./----/ Even Yankee soldiers respected Lee.

What was that "Lost Cause" specifically? Preserving slavery. So how is he or the cause honorable?
Yeap, nothing about the FACT that redskins fought for the confederacy and own slaves. Nothing. Avoid that issue, or simply say it was not their fault.I have to agree with Kelly on the fact that it was a different time and we should not judge him by today's standards. He may have been a great battlefield general but as a war strategist, he failed and lost the war. However, removing statues devoted to White supremacy has nothing to do with that issue of perception. I believe the Cities and States absolutely have the right to move these relics, (or not to remove them) of the past to museums devoted to history. They are a stark reminder to future generations of our own history of man's inhumanity to man.
Kelly was right

Robert E. Lee is THEE American badass!
Did the Confederacy invade any state of the Union? Nope.
