Friends, take this attack on American history seriously. One man with a history degree can claim Robert E. Lee was a hate symbol and killed thousands of Union Soldiers and it will cause outrage in the uninformed. The best defense is EDUCATION. Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee did not own slaves, but Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant did. Lincoln's emancipation proclamation freed no slaves, in fact it turned Southern slaves into "contraband - property of the US Government". What about the participation of the slave and free Southern Blacks.
