By all accounts, he was a good military leader, but he fought to

You could say the same thing about George Washington and Thomas
Jefferson. In fact Al Sharpton did the other day on Charlie Rose so
Trump was not that far off.


There you go again. Lee by the way was opposed to statues being erected to
honor southern generals.

That just shows his humility. Yeah he was a really bad guy.



Lee was a traitor to the United States and the Constitution.

You've already been shown that you're wrong by someone with far more
education and knowledge on the subject than you. Are you in the liberal
mode of repeating a lie enough that maybe it'll stick?


No, that someone merely posted an opinion, an opinion you preferred. That
is sll.


Ah, the power of a liberal arts education is important to you... until it disagrees with your opinion, then it isn't. Got it.


As I stated, you prefer the opinion of someone who backs your views of
the South.


And you aren't qualified to have an opinion on the matter. Dr. Smith is.
