[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My confederate ancestors were slave owners and, judging by my family members, no one was really sorry about it until the 1970s, a few of us who are in our 50s now. I think all the statues and names should come down. They glorify a not glorious past, and help to recruit new generations into at least whitewashing,if not hate.[/quote] That is also what Robert E. Lee V and Robert W. Lee IV believe. Take them down. [/quote] It’s what Robert E. Lee OG believed! “But Lee himself never wanted such monuments built. "I think it wiser," the retired military leader wrote about a proposed Gettysburg memorial in 1869, "…not to keep open the sores of war but to follow the examples of those nations who endeavored to obliterate the marks of civil strife, to commit to oblivion the feelings engendered." https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/nation/robert-e-lee-opposed-confederate-monuments[/quote]
