Robert E Lee & The Confederate Solider statue removed in Dallas

[joaquinmiller]

R. E. Lee wasn't even a US citizen after the Civil War.

 

[Truth1253]

The confederacy killed Americans, they are and were the traitors.

The Confederacy attempted to leave the country civilly and without violence. It was Lincoln who forced things into the realm of military action.

I would suggest that Constitutionally the Confederacy was far more correct than the Federal Government.

Except that Lee is/was a traitor!

“Near Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865, Robert E. Lee knew he was beaten. Urged by a fellow officer to take to the mountains and lead a guerilla war against the Yankees, Lee refused. He retorted that further resistance was futile and would only bring more bloodshed and a “state of affairs it would take the country years to recover from.” “There is nothing for me to do but go and see General Grant,” he concluded, “and I would rather die a thousand deaths.” He met and surrendered to Grant, and ordered all of his men to do the same. After Lee departed Appomattox Courthouse, Grant sternly told his own troops, “the rebels are our countrymen again.” General Robert E. Lee was not charged with treason and he spent no time in jail. During the brief five years that he lived following the Civil War, Robert E. Lee became the president of Washington College (now Washington and Lee) in Virginia. Interestingly, whenever Lee marched the Washington College military cadets onto and off the campus parade grounds, he declined to march in step with his “troops.” He died on October 12, 1870, respected in the North for his character and beloved in the South for his fighting ability.”

Know your history lol

He fought against and killed Americans, know your history!

Not in war. Example if a civil war broke out and the Antifa, white liberal, socialist scum, white-hating blacks are not Americans in my eyes, so it would be easy.

Why? White devils deserve no respect .

The same goes for you.

Respect breeds respect.

You want it? Give it.

.

Respect for those who support white supremacy is impossible.

Why? White supremacy built this nation into the place that you and all your degenerate friends want to freeload in?
This is a white nation where whites are supreme...have you ever looked at statistics?
We were founded by whites, we’re funded and run by whites...how do you think we got to where we’re at? Scary shit to acknowledge huh?
Are the Japanese “supreme” in Japan?

White supremacy is the belief that the white race is superior to all others, dope.

Um, not, it's being removed because he betrayed the country over slavery.

Time to stop honoring traitors. Take them all down.

Just like the Taliban, destroying art, trying to erase history. History haunts them, even if they try to mangle the history books.
History is history, the truth is the truth, deal with it.

Yes, history is history.

And there was nothing noble or honorable about Lee, which is why he should be expunged from any place of honor. .

You're not very smart, are ya?

Despite the nuances involved, the Civil War mainly pertained to states rights. States rights = the right to self determination. This is literally the exact same principle this whole goddamn country was founded upon. We didn't like how GB was telling us to live, so we rebelled. We won. Victors write the history.

On the same token the South, 100 years later, didn't like how the rest of the country was telling them to live. They rebelled. They lost. Again - VICTORS wrote the history. Virtue signal all you'd like, had the South won you'd be singing their praises - so to label them "traitors" is disingenuous at best. We're ALL fucking traitors, we just happened to come out on the winning side.

Remember that before you start denigrating an entire populace.

These Moon Bats are as ignorant of History as they are of Climate Science, Economics, Ethics, Biology and the Constitution.

The US (i.e. Union) was a slave country before the Civil War, during the Civil War and for almost a year after the Civil War.

The national debate on slavery had absolutely nothing to do with slavery. It was about political power.

The debate on slavery was about allowing slavery in the western expansion territories. All the great anti slavery speeches given in Congress by the Northern assholes were in the context of expanding in the West.

The fact was that if a new state was allowed to be slave then it would be dominated by Democrats. If non slave it would be dominated by Republicans.

It was all about the balance of political power in the Congress.

The Northern Republicans wanted to have a majority so that they could use the government to steal money from the cash rich Southerners. Just like they tried to do with Tariffs on Southern products in the 1850s.

Same shit that is going on today except the political parties have reversed.

Lincoln said he didn't give a shit about slavery. There are some very famous quotes. His shitty Emancipation Proclamation didn't even free the slaves in the Union. It only applied to "occupied Southern areas" and he even gave exceptions to that like in New Orleans and West Virginia. DC was built on a war footing with slaves. It was only designed to encourage the Neggras to join the filthy Union Army to become cannon fodder.

The South realized it’s slave culture was dying
New states were not going to side with their despicable practice of slavery.
It was going to mean that they no longer had the political influence to force pro slavery policy in Washington

So they started there own country which would preserve slavery forever

The confederacy was the moral equivalent of Nazi Germany

No...they are not being removed because they owned slaves.

Correct. This is a crutch they fall back on because they can't handle the reality, no matter how many times it's put in front of their collective face.

Robert E. Lee wasn't even a fan of slavery, considering it a 'moral and political evil', although he did have a paternalistic attitude toward the resolution of it, based far more on Christianism than on politics.

Robert E. Lee's letter on slavery (1856)

Nor, as has been mentioned, did he want statues of himself plunked around anyway.

What's really going on here, and what's always been going on, is that they fail to acknowledge the massive propaganda campaign that is the Cult of the Lost Cause, plunking these statues and monuments everywhere, always on public and/or highly visible land, to push a historically revisionist mythology about the past. They can't handle that burden, just like they couldn't handle the reality of Slavery, and now want to hide behind a giant Checkers Speech about "waaah, just because he owned slaves" or some shit. Intentional stupidity.

Cult of the Lost Cause is closely related to Cult of Ignorance. One feeds the other.

Texas explained it all.

The Texas Ordinance of Secession
(February 2, 1861)

.....

"She was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery--the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits--a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time."

Do you understand that Japanese is a nationality, not a race? You would need to use Americans rather than whites for a direct comparison: The Americans are supreme in America, as the Japanese are supreme in Japan.

It's always turns out well when a nation starts burning books and removing history.

Books are deleted now

Of course.

Why would Republicans care?

Remember, they are always telling us they defeated slaveholders in the south.

Why do they idolize a traitor?

It's history. Why do libs want to erase history? Why are they always trying to do this, especially slavery and segregation? I think we all know the answer.

Well said. My apolitical wife can't understand why the statues of great men are being destroyed or moved.
What part of "its fucking US history" don't the loony Left get? Like removing or destroying their statues corrects some perceived wrong, it doesn't.
Its time for the snowflakes to put on their big boy or big girl pants and accept reality.
