You are correct. Lee was a traitor, Hitler was not. Sorry Hitler.

Still false comparison.

Still; trying to erase history. Craziness.

History is still there, we are just no longer honoring enemies of the country.

Do you think Japan has a Fort Nimitz?

How is that erasing history, he isn't being taken out of history books. Why should a racist traitor be honored with a statue or monument?

Because Lee is one of them.

During the Civil War, the Union wondered how to honor Lee.

They took his mansion in Alexandria and used it to bury the tens of thousands of soldiers he killed. It became Arlington National Cemetery

An appropriate way to honor Lee

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Lee was a patriot fighting for his country of Virginia. Virginia was among those states (countries) that seceded from the consortium of states from the north and formed a new consortium of states (countries) in the south. The reasoning for the secession was undue economic restraints the federal government was putting on the southern states including the potential banning of slavery.
The northern states then attacked the southern consortium of countries in a successful effort to reclaim them into the northern group.
The northern states considered African slaves to be an inferior race and had no designs on accommodating their newly gained freedom beyond sending them back to Africa.

The reason for secession was that the right to own other human beings was being challenged
The Confederacy was formed to ensure that slavery would be in place forever. 40 percent of the Confederacy was in bondage.

Lee chose to join that nation

Lee chose the nation of slavery over a dream of freedom. He chose badly.

no the norther freed them buster. the south wanted to keep slavery till it faded out. its a very complicated for some to understand.

I didn’t say the north didn’t free them. It just wasn’t the intent of the war. That’s why emancipation didn’t happen until the war had been underway for over a year.
They intended to send them back to Africa but realized it was too big of an undertaking. So they left them to wander in the south that the north burned down.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Hitler was evil.

So owning other human beings isn't.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Why is it that the so called, "Good Republicans" are the ones who want to honor these racist who were traitors.

 

[rightwinger]

lee was human. hilter was crazy.

Both were on the side of evil regimes and do not deserve to be honored

Ya know, I read a lot of history

Lee was both an honorable and humble man.

I'd be willing to bet he wouldn't have minded this at all
