Robert E Lee was obviously awesome general and slave owner. Many notable figures from the period preceding the War Between the States were slave owners. That we honor their achievements with statues in no way honors their participation in the slave trade. That kinda thing what I meant. I have friends who rise up in outrage that we could honor much of anything from the South due to slavery. I think the context of where we come from is important. Statues and memorials can teach us of these matters.
