This is a great story. https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/897970905418268674 Reporter: Did you guys know there's a Robert E Lee Monument here in Franklin Township? Franklin Township : No way we gave that land to the City of Franklin, ask them about it. City of Franklin: No way that's a clerical error, we're giving it back. Monument hot potato in south west Ohio. A description of the monument here. http://www.columbusnavigator.com/ohio-confederate-monuments/ quote:Perhaps most egregiously, a marker lauding Robert E. Lee sits on city owned land in northwestern Warren County, at the intersection of Old Dixie Highway and Hamilton-Middleton Road. The plaque is attached to a boulder and reads: “Erected and Dedicated by the United Daughters of the Confederacy and Friends In Loving Memory of Robert E. Lee and to Mark the Route of the Dixie Highway. ‘The shaft memorial and highway straight attest his worth — he cometh to his own.’ — Littlefield/Erected 1927.” You know, just a random monument to Lee, for no reason, in Ohio.

Giggy posted:I try to forget Breitbart exists. Jesus, Bannon is the most competent person in this administration.... In the first round of the GOP attempting to get the Obamacare repeal through the House, Bannon took it upon himself to confront members of the HFC and attempt to intimidate them into voting yes. They laughed in his face and all voted no. It was pretty obvious at the time and now more so in retrospect that Bannon lost a TON of influence in the White House after that debacle.

It's because all these losers got as an identity are video games and anime. You take all that away and they got nothing else. Somewhere along the way the ironic bigotry became genuine.

Jaxyon posted:He owned slaves, fought to keep those that should have been freed, and let his troops enslave free blacks. He was the commander of the seceding troops. Yeah. Didn't he sue to keep slaves that he inherited from his in-laws' estate, when the will said they were supposed to be freed? Doesn't sound like the actions of a man who was opposed to the institution of slavery in any way. I've heard, but can't source, that Lee was regarded as a "hard master" even as such things were considered among the folks in antebellum Virginia; driving them hard, 'lending' them out to other plantations for extended periods, breaking up their families, and subjecting them to regular corporal punishment. All of this contrasts with his reputation of being fair to his (white) soldiers and caring for their wellbeing. (This at least is attested in his own letters.) Pretty cut and dry case of being a real racist rear end in a top hat, especially if what I've heard about his treatment of the slaves is even half-true. Jackson was a monster to slave and soldier alike, at least, and even then he treated the slaves in his household nicely on Sundays. The minute you start scratching the surface on the mythic veneers of these guys you get to realizing how hosed-up it is that we honor them with statues and poo poo.

Bhaal posted:More or less. Lee thought slavery was bad and secession was worse, but state identity was a much bigger deal back then and he was less disgusted with joining a bad cause than he was by turning on his fellow virginians. He dragged his feet a little to declare for the south and generally agonized over it, if you want to put him in a generous light. Also there was probably still a non-zero chance of him getting hanged in 1866, so forgive and forget was definitely in his best interest. E: also, as another posted said, don't buy the post-reconstruction defenses of Lee. He may not have been a fan of secession and civil war as solutions to the problem, but he wasn't anti-slavery and he was a traitor.

It doesn't matter what Lee "thought" or "believed." We know for a fact that he fought against the United States as an enemy combatant and killed American soldiers. By definition, he is a traitor.
