>“I think it wiser,” the retired military leader wrote about a proposed Gettysburg memorial in 1869, “…not to keep open the sores of war but to follow the examples of those nations who endeavored to obliterate the marks of civil strife, to commit to oblivion the feelings engendered.”
What say you /pol/?

He was a broken man.

>Robert E Lee didnt want monuments
If that's the case then, liberals should want the opposite of what he wanted to dishonor him.

So be perfidious, ye who will,
Renounce your sacred word,
Destroy all that which men hold dear
And let your eagle-bird
Perch proudly on your banner
And let his motto be:
“That which I cannot win by fight,
I gain by treachery.”
We know that we were rebels,
And we don’t deny the name.
We look on that which we have done
With grief but not with shame.
Then blow up Gettysburg and every Union soldier statue in America.

Okay but you can't cherry pick his beliefs. Would he have agreed with giving non-whites the right to vote?
No.
Would he agree with LGBT and racemixing?
No.
So if you want, we can level all the fucking monuments, but you have to banish all the degeneracy he was opposed to.

OG 4d chessmaster
Checkmate leftists, you got played.
So what? Jackson wouldn't want to be on the $20 bill. What's your point?
>>137647056
Fuck Robert E Lee
This is our country and if we want a statue of him, we should keep it
>>137647056
Lee is not the only person we have monuments for. Like it or not but the soldiers of the confederacy died protecting their home land against an attacking army that would and did ravage their homeland.

As a Liberal looks like I'm going to have to change my position on this issue now.
I should warn you right now,. I don't know how to use a computer.
