If you were to read up on Robert E Lee, you will find he was mostly against slavery. He and his wife helped liberate slaves. There is even a dorm at West Point named for him. He was well respected from both sides.

Can you clarify how Trump has gone full steam ahead in support of the message of white supremacy? In one belated statement that Trump read, and which he was clearly unfamiliar with as he read it, Trump condemned "all Nazis, KKK, etc." He didn't condemn the particular army of white supremacists at Charlottesville for being responsible for killing a Charlottesville resident. Now he has abandoned even that watered down disapproval. Now he is directing his condemnation toward those who want to remove those statues symbolizing white supremacy from their prominent public places. I and nobody that I know are alienated. We're just amused. I wasn't talking about you. I'm sure Trump doesn't care whether you or anybody you know is alienated. What he does care about is when the corporate CEOs he had appointed to secure the allegiance of Big Business condemn his actions and resign because of it from the Councils he had created and appointed them to. Six of them resigned, then one of the Councils decided it would entirely disband itself by its own volition. When Trump heard about the planned announcement, he upstaged them and announced by twitter that he was disbanding all his advisory CEO councils. Trump cares when One of those was the American Cancer Society, a Maralago client for 9 years. The issue is not the lost revenue, but the hit to the prestige of the Trump brand. I really expected better from you.
