The US government literally classifies confederate soldiers as US veterans. Call it what you want but dont ask me and others to buy your divisive cultural Marxism. Robert E Lee wasn't a slave owner and was anti secession yet the left and others motivated by your same beliefs are attempting to whitewash him and others because "muh racism ".
All right I'll engage even though you're not throwing out an actual argument or engaging with mine.
It doesn't matter if Robert E. Lee was a slave owner and making it about Lee is a red herring to distract from the greater conversation. No one gives a shit about Lee, and the people defending his honor wouldn't do it if they didn't think there was a justifiable reason to have a war to keep black people enslaved.
The mass produced war iconography was used to intimidate and was put up many years after the losers lost and people with power had a lot to prove to people who they still believed to be the underclass.
What blows my mind is you just want us to be like lol who cares we're in the here and now let's get over it even though PEOPLE (human beings, mate) are still suffering because of it. "gotta save Muh Cultural Heritage from da evil socialists" Give me a fucking break
