I think this is a profound point. Who is this country for? Is Robert E Lee the best embodiment of the future of all people in the United States? Can all Americans look up to Robert E Lee and see themselves? He would have said no, we should not “keep open the sores of war” and I think he was right. https://home.nps.gov/arho/learn/historyculture/memorialization-of-robert-e-lee-and-the-lost-cause.htm/index.htm
