You know robert e lee never owned a single slave. The war was propogandized using slavery and yes history is being rewritten as we speak. The main reason for the start of the civil war was the south had money from cotton manufacturing. The north didnt have the same lifestyle. The north tried to cripple the south by making it illegal for slave ownership only in the southern territory. Slavery and the civil war and all these statues are so mis understood. Since day 1 there were free men of color that owned slaves and fought for the confederates. It wasnt racially motivated. It was a way of life. Power and $ caused the war.
Removing statues to replace with new representation is fine and should be done.
But not by pushing false narratives and false history in schools.
