No need for a loop
But we dont seem to have covered all bases, since oyu are repeating the same mistake.
“I will try to delve deeper in the “myth” of the Lost Cause, ”
Sure start with the beginning : namely the articles of secession of the various states
“Interestingly, there were many people in history whos day job was to be great personalities and on the side perswcuted the Jews.”
You nailed the distinction! but seem to have trouble following through.
People’s whose day job was “to be a great personality” are not comparable to the subject at hand. When you see a statue of FDR, and your kid asks “who was he” the reply isnt “Oh he’s the guiy who interned the Japanese” or “Hes the guy who didnt due enough to save the Jews” Although both of those are true. That isnt what he statue is commemorating. Ditto for the ohers
On the other hand Mussolini may have gotten the trains to run on time (as the saying goes) . nonethless it would be weird to erect a monument for him even claiming “its not about that other stuff, we are ocusing on his train orginizing skillls”
Similarly a statue of Lee, Why is it there? is it becasue of his leadership role in the confederacy? or becasue of some noble quality that he undoubtedly had eg “Making sure that they were able to take a break on Yom Tov if I remember correctly. Getting Matzah” Why is the statue there? what are they glorifying?
if the former – well as mentioned look no further than the articles of secession declaring WHY the confederacy (that he represents) existed
