Even should it be acknowledged that Robert E Lee was a good man, a decent family man, a brave warrior who served his country in the Mexican-American War, a military genius and one who did his best to reconcile after the war, the fact remains: Robert E Lee took an oath to protect the United States. He took that oath freely and without duress. He took the oath and then he violated it and took up arms against his country. That is what I would call Treason (as would the Constitution). The story about Lee taking Communion at the side of a newly freed slave makes me proud to belong to the very same Church as Lee (Episcopal) but it does not change the fact that Lee committed Treason. We do not ask whether Benedict Arnold was a good man, we do not praise John Wilkes Booth for loving his mother, we do not recount pleasantries about Aldrich Ames or Robert Hansson , they do not get statues for goodness. They do not get statues because they committed treason. So too it is inappropriate to display a memorial to anyone who shot AT the Flag of the United States. (Yes, my kin fought for the Union in the Civil War AND in every war since and including the War for American Independence — Captain Isaac Winans, NJ Militia)
