A project in Charlottesville, Va. seeks to upend the narrative around the statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee that was the center of deadly white nationalist protests there in 2017.
Not only that, but Robert E Lee himself thought that there shouldn’t be any statues to the Confederacy. After it failed, he was of the opinion that the country should move on - not glorify that time.
So not only were they building statues to a losing traitor, but they weren’t even following that losing traitor’s wishes on the one thing he was right about!
