As others in this thread have tried to teach you, we are obligated to do this because we have read and understood the relevant primary sources of history.  Others have denied the dark depths of Lee's means motives.  We neither deny nor erase anything about him.

You are so brainwashed.  Should we move one of the most hollowed grounds in American History (Arlington National Cemetery) since Robert E. Lee once owned and lived on the property?

"We" are obligated to do this because we want to erase history?

Tell me this.  Does General Custer deserve to have monuments, towns and other things named after him?  Was he racist?  Was a a hero?

The federal government seized the Arlington plantation from Robert E Lee against his wishes.
Suffice it to say, his peers in government knew what kind of man Lee was and treated him accordingly. It was a later generation that created the fable of him being honorable.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
