The Army base are next as Ft. Bragg is now Hillary Center, Ft. Hood becomes Obama Central...you get the picture. Can you imagine pink vehicles to show the world what America is now? Trained to not offend anyone and welcoming to one and all.

The Confederate commander Bragg, lost 7 of 8 battles. It should be argued he helped the Union win.Originally Posted by S.A. Boggs

I doesn't sound good. Thankfully, I've lived a pretty sheltered life.
If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.

Apparently, Lee was a rabid and vicious supporter of slavery-not a nice guy
States an article which seemed knowledgeable and fair. Said that most sources and articles white wash over his flaws ,what he did and the generally vicious way he went about it.
I have no knowledge of this other than the article , but am inclined to believe the article.

you need to actually read some history and his own words

Since, as you say, you "have no knowledge of this other than the article," WHY would you be inclined to believe IT, & disregard the immense volume of contrary data? Are you aware that Lincoln asked LEE to lead the Union forces at the outbreak of the CW? Do you think Lincoln was partial to "vicious" men?

The Myth of the Kindly General Lee- The Atlantic -Adam Server-6-04-17
also: Robert E. Lee and Slavery- at History Net- Elizeabeth Brown Pryor.
also.........
Quite a few historians agree that Lee was solidly pro slavery and his personal and professional actions were reprehensible- now and even then.
Professionally, some called his actions treason. The country was split apart, and many, so very many men died or were terribly injured so that Lee and the South could enslave men, women and children.
If you like Lee, well,as you wish. But the Civil War was fought because of slavery. And Lee wanted slavery to remain an institution of the South.
The past is in the past. Repercussions reverberate today. Racism then, racism today.
