I'm obviously not black so I don't know how it feels to walk by statues of Civil War heroes and the right call may be to put these in museums.
But
@King Stannis, if I understand the Civil War correctly...Robert E Lee could have easily been a Union General or other high ranking officer, yes? And chose not to be one simply because of his sentiment, as that of many other people then, that states came before country and that they should be allowed to secede if they chose to do so.
And that THIS- the rights of a state to secede if they chose to do so- was what the Civil War was about more than slavery. That the abolition of slavery was a secondary (maybe even tertiary) effect of the Confederacy losing the Civil War.
If I'm understanding this correctly (may not be), Robert E Lee was not the terrible person he has been rewritten to be at all.
Help me on this one please before I develop an argument further. I flat out don't trust the information out there at the moment and don't feel like reading a book on him.
