I presume Lee took an oath to defend the United States and its
Constitution. He violated that oath and fought against the United
States. By all accounts, he was a good military leader, but he fought to
maintain the vile cause of slavery and treating blacks as second-class
citizens. That vile cause took another innocent life last week. Lee was
a traitor to the United States and its people.


A black woman that is more educated and knowledgeable about such things than you are disagrees. I'll take her word for it.
