1 the problem isn’t treasonous per se, it is that they stood for racism. That said, if you want to remove other statues glorifying any traitor. go for it The problem with Lee is not just that he took up arms against the US, its that he took up arms
3. At best that would be an argument to allow his statue to remain in Virgina.,.
1. proves nothing
2. You brought up the comparison, I’m not sure why I am the insane one
3. “Texas v White was in 1869. Nice try.”
Very good. And they ruled that there is no right to secede in direct opposition to your assertion”The South had a right to leave an evolved system which they never signed up to.” ( in fact they ruled that the South never seceded since it was basically impossible)
4. ” Because then you will find out how and why ”
Oh I know why. The articles of secession are still around .They say exactly why the states seceded starting with SC the first state that seceded due to “increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding States to the Institution of Slavery”” We have first hand sources. Dont fall back on lamentings of a failed leader tryign to whitewash history (Again, I havent read it but if he downplays slavery;s role then this is a fair description)
“Alternatively statues were put up in the 30s brcaus thats when the veterans began dying out and in the 60s because of the centennial.”
I see you looked up the dates and didnt like what you found
“According to the 1619 project everything is rooted in racism.”
so they are wrong. plain and simple.
