White History Hero: Gen. Robert E. Lee

(Wikipedia) Robert Edward Lee (January 19, 1807 – October 12, 1870) was an American Confederate general best known as a commander of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. He commanded the Army of Northern Virginia from 1862 until its surrender in 1865 and earned a reputation as a skilled tactician.

A son of Revolutionary War officer Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee III, Lee was a top graduate of the United States Military Academy and an exceptional officer and military engineer in the United States Army for 32 years. During this time, he served throughout the United States, distinguished himself during the Mexican–American War, and served as Superintendent of the United States Military Academy.

He was also the husband of Mary Anna Custis Lee, adopted great-granddaughter of George Washington.

When Virginia's 1861 Richmond Convention declared secession from the Union, Lee chose to follow his home state, despite his desire for the country to remain intact and an offer of a senior Union command. During the first year of the Civil War, he served as a senior military adviser to Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

At the end of the Civil War, Gen. Lee surrendered to Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House. (He and Grant had worked together in the Mexican–American War, which ended in 1848.)

Lee's father suffered severe financial reverses from failed investments[6] and was put in debtors' prison. In 1812 Lee's father moved permanently to the West Indies.[9] (Lee would have been about 5.)

Gen. Lee had 7 children!

Late 1850s slavery

In 1857, his father-in-law George Washington Parke Custis died, creating a serious crisis when Lee took on the burden of executing the will... which encompassed vast landholdings and hundreds of slaves balanced against massive debts, and required Custis's former slaves "to be emancipated by my executors in such manner as to my executors may seem most expedient and proper, the said emancipation to be accomplished in not exceeding five years from the time of my decease."[41]

The estate was in disarray, and the plantations had been poorly managed and were losing money.[42]

Lee tried to hire an overseer to handle the plantation in his absence, writing to his cousin, "I wish to get an energetic honest farmer, who while he will be considerate & kind to the negroes, will be firm & make them do their duty."[43] But Lee failed to find a man for the job, and had to take a two-year leave of absence from the army in order to run the plantation himself.

“Cruelty”

Wikipedia says: Lee's “cruelty” on the Arlington plantation nearly led to a slave revolt, since many of the slaves had been given to understand that they were to be made free as soon as Custis died, and protested angrily at the delay.[44]

In May 1858, Lee wrote to his son Rooney, "I have had some trouble with some of the people. Reuben, Parks & Edward, in the beginning of the previous week, rebelled against my authority—refused to obey my orders, & said they were as free as I was, etc., etc.—I succeeded in capturing them & lodging them in jail. They resisted till overpowered & called upon the other people to rescue them."[43]

Less than two months after they were sent to the Alexandria jail, Lee decided to remove these three men and three female house slaves from Arlington, and sent them under lock and key to the slave-trader William Overton Winston in Richmond, who was instructed to keep them in jail until he could find "good & responsible" slaveholders to work them until the end of the five-year period.[43]

Lee ruptured the Washington and Custis tradition of respecting slave families and by 1860 he had broken up every family but one on the estate, some of whom had been together since Mount Vernon days.[45]

“Lee's views on race and slavery”

Lee said he had sympathetic feelings for blacks.[60] While Lee held slavery to be an evil institution, he also saw some benefit to blacks held in slavery.[61] Lee helped assist individual slaves to freedom in Liberia (HOW WELL DID THAT WORK?), and he provided for their emancipation in his own will.[62] He thought emancipation would sooner come from Christian impulse among slave masters before "storms and tempests of fiery controversy." While both Robert and his wife Mary Lee were disgusted with slavery, they also defended it against abolitionist demands for immediate emancipation for all enslaved.[65] GOOD.

Lee argued that slavery was bad for white people but good for black people,[66] (TRUE) claiming that he found slavery bothersome and time-consuming as an everyday institution to run (YEP). In an 1856 letter to his wife, he maintained that slavery was a great evil, but primarily due to adverse impact that it had on white people:[67]

QUOTE: In this enlightened age, there are few I believe, but what will acknowledge, that slavery as an institution, is a moral & political evil in any Country. It is useless to expatiate on its disadvantages. I think it however a greater evil to the white man than to the black race, & while my feelings are strongly enlisted in behalf of the latter, my sympathies are more strong for the former. The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, socially & physically. The painful discipline they are undergoing, is necessary for their instruction as a race, & I hope will prepare & lead them to better things. How long their subjugation may be necessary is known & ordered by a wise Merciful Providence (MEANING GOD).[68]

Others’ analysis, and other controversy

...Historian Elizabeth Brown Pryor offered an alternative interpretation of Lee's voluntary manumission of slaves in his will, and assisting slaves to a life of freedom in Liberia, seeing Lee as conforming to a "primacy of slave law". She wrote that Lee's private views on race and slavery,

"which today seem startling, were entirely unremarkable in Lee's world. No visionary, Lee nearly always tried to conform to accepted opinions. His assessment of black inferiority, of the necessity of racial stratification, the primacy of slave law, and even a divine sanction for it all, was in keeping with the prevailing views of other moderate slaveholders and a good many prominent Northerners."[72]

Some guy Foner writes that he did not stop his soldiers from kidnapping free black farmers and selling them into slavery.[74]

Scumbags pass judgment on Gen. Lee for this. Yet they are a intellectuals who excuse evils of today such as Barack Obama supporting abortion and infanticide. Even some “black conservatives” pretend obamacare (socialized medicine that supports homosexuality, trangender madness, etc., which they claim not to support) was a positive thing in some way. This is what’s meant by “different times.” Lee might be rightly horrified by the people of today.

Gen. Lee’s Legacy

(Wikipedia: Gen. Lee’s Legacy) Among the supporters of the Confederacy, Lee came to be even more revered after his surrender than he had been during the war, when Stonewall Jackson had been the great Confederate hero. In an address before the Southern Historical Society in Atlanta, Georgia in 1874, Benjamin Harvey Hill (D-GA) described Lee in this way:

He was a foe without hate; a friend without treachery; a soldier without cruelty; a victor without oppression, and a victim without murmuring. He was a public officer without vices; a private citizen without wrong; a neighbour without reproach; a Christian without hypocrisy, and a man without guile. He was a Caesar, without his ambition; Frederick, without his tyranny; Napoleon, without his selfishness, and Washington, without his reward.[146]

By the end of the 19th century, Lee's popularity had spread to the North.[147] Lee's admirers have pointed to his character and devotion to duty, and his occasional tactical successes in battles against a stronger foe.

He’s been commemorated on U.S. postage stamps, coins (including a half-dollar)...

The birthday of Robert E. Lee is celebrated or commemorated in several states. In Virginia, Lee–Jackson Day is celebrated on the Friday preceding Martin Luther King, Jr. Day which is the third Monday in January.[172] In Texas, he is celebrated as part of Confederate Heroes Day on January 19, Lee's birthday.[173] In Alabama and Mississippi, his birthday is celebrated on the same day as Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,[174][175] while in Georgia, this occurred on the day after Thanksgiving before 2016, when the state (TO ITS SHAME) stopped officially recognizing the holiday.[176][177]

Monuments to Lee

Lee opposed the construction of public memorials to Confederate rebellion on the grounds that they would prevent the healing of wounds inflicted during the war.[158] WHICH MAKES HIM GREATER AND HIS STATUES MORE WORTH KEEPING. THE CIVIL WAR WOUNDS HAVE HEALED AND THE ANGER OF THE PEOPLE TODAY IS PURE EVIL AND COMMUNIST-TWISTED “HISTORY” IS A MERE EXCUSE. THEY ARE LESSER MEN (if they’re men at all) WHO HATE AND JUDGE GEN. ROBERT E. LEE.

In 1900, Lee was one of the first 29 individuals selected for the Hall of Fame for Great Americans (the first Hall of Fame in the United States), designed by Stanford White, on the Bronx, New York, campus of New York University, now a part of Bronx Community College.[178][179] However, his bust was removed in August 2017 by order of New York SO-CALLED Governor Andrew Cuomo.[180] LIKE I SAID: LESSER MEN THAN LEE.

Lee is featured on the 1925 Stone Mountain Memorial half dollar.

Hype: The Supporters Trump has Lost…

Here’s some propaganda! Although I did hear that Trump has lost some support among whites — support unchanged by coloreds.

(Drudge / DNYUZ / Failing NY Times) They quote a female who calls Trump “an appalling human being” — one Judith Goines, age 53, a finance executive at a home building company in Fayetteville, N.C.

“I think if he weren’t such an appalling human being, he would make a great president, because I think what this country needs is somebody who isn’t a politician. But obviously with the coronavirus and the social unrest we’re dealing with, that’s where you need a politician, somebody with a little bit more couth.” HOW IS THAT OBVIOUS? “I’m ashamed to say that I’ve voted for him,” said Ms. Goines, who described herself as a staunch Republican. I DON’T BELIEVE THIS WOMAN.

I took a look at other fake people and dumb quotes by these RINOs, liars, and suckers in the NY Times article.

And I caught a glance at the descriptions of the people who wrote this dumb article, including some woman who writes about “gender, families… and was part of a team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for public service for reporting on workplace sexual harassment issues.” SMH, RME, LOL.

Some laughable headlines

POPE: Media Should Help People 'Distinguish Good from Evil'...

Oh, gosh! This is a laugh. Elitist, arrogant, and being people’s “leaders”! JLP says, “Don’t have leaders.” Trump says, “You’re the elite,” and, “These people (the media) are liars and nasty people.”

(Drudge / Breitbart) In ROME — Pope Francis told members of the Catholic Press Association Tuesday that the media should build bridges, defend life, and help people, especially the young, “to distinguish good from evil.”

In their reporting, journalists should “help people, especially the young, to develop sound judgments based on a clear and unbiased presentation of the facts, and to understand the importance of working for justice, social concord and respect for our common home,” the pope told them.

He claimed “the mission of the communications media [is] for bringing people together, shortening distances, providing necessary information, and opening minds and hearts to truth.”

The communications media are called “to inform and to unite,” the pontiff said. “E pluribus unum – the ideal of unity amid diversity, reflected in the motto of the United States, must also inspire the service you offer to the common good.”

The pope said everyone must work “to overcome the diseases of racism, injustice and indifference that disfigure the face of our common family.” SEE? HE BELIEVES FAKE NEWS. HE’S A COMMUNIST!

President, in a hole, digs deeper into racial incitement…

I like to hear stuff like this. I looooooved his handling of Charlottesville. And “They’re not sending their best… they’re rapists….” And his fights with Kaepernick types, and the so-called “squad” of “progressive” female Democrats.

(Drudge shared this article by Eli Stokols in L.A. Times) The article opens: President Trump on Wednesday suggested that painting the words "Black Lives Matter" on New York City's Fifth Avenue would amount to a "symbol of hate," complaining that such an action would be "expensive" and "denigrating [to] this luxury Avenue."

That came shortly after a threat by the president to veto the Pentagon's budget legislation should it include a measure to take the names of Confederate generals off military bases, which he denounced as being sponsored by "Elizabeth 'Pocahontas' Warren (of all people!)."

That came only hours after his declaration that he "may END" a federal housing regulation aimed at desegregating neighborhoods, which he claimed has had "a devastating impact" on America's suburbs.

And that came roughly a day after he re-tweeted a video of supporters in an almost entirely white Florida retirement community shouting "white power" from a golf cart.

Polls on Trump and race

Article reads: Only 35% of voters said they had confidence in the president's ability to "effectively handle race relations" and only 15% said they were "very confident," according to a Pew Research survey released Tuesday. A majority of those polled, 55%, also said Trump had "changed the tone of political debate in the U.S. for the worse"; just 25% said he had changed it for the better, and 19% saw not much change either way. [THEY’RE DUMB. THE FEW ARE RIGHT.]

Trump also tweeted that police would remember the "horrible BLM chant, 'Pigs In A Blanket, Fry 'Em Like Bacon'. Maybe our GREAT Police, who have been neutralized and scorned by a mayor who hates & disrespects them, won’t let this symbol of hate be affixed to New York’s greatest street."

The Black Lives Matter movement, which polling [SUPPOSEDLY] shows 74% of Americans now support, has "become not just an urban, but a suburban rallying point. It's being led by young people, who are asking their parents, 'How can you support this man in the White House?'" says disgraced former DNC chair Donna Brazile (she black) who was hired by Fox News, which Trump decried.

Allies push Trump to be less polarizing…

I love that he doesn’t listen to them… Or that he listens but does not necessarily heed their bad advice always. Sometimes he does, I suppose.

(Drudge shares an article by Steve Holland in far-left anti-Trump outlet Reuters) Speaking on condition of anonymity, allies said Trump was often his own worst enemy. They pointed to him retweeting a video on Sunday that included a supporter shouting, "white power," a slogan among white supremacists, and then deleting it.

Campaign STILL contending with fallout from the Tulsa rally…

How so? I loved the Tulsa rally. This sounds like fake news, or drummed up — overhyped. BTW: Get pumped for Trump’s “virtual” rallies July 3-4 for America from Mount Rushmore.
