I remember my first visit to Lee Chapel back in 1988 I was fifteen years old I remember the statue flanked by actual Confederate battle flags from the Army of Northern Virginia the site of his tomb left me speechless Lee was a great noble patriotic God fearing man who loved his family his state and his country His brilliant tactics are still being studied in military academies all across America and beyond He should always be respected and remembered with honor Rest in peace Marse Robert

I will never forget when I was 5 waking up because his arm wasn't around my neck making sure I didn't get up and wander because of insomnia(I used to watch the spiders make their webs instead). He was in the woods at barely daylight setting traps to catch a boy and girl squirrel. He would let them mate, remove the male and when the babies were born he helped the mother raise them up. The babies were so tame and they loved him. Once old enough he would release the mother and her offspring back into the wild slowly at first until they were comfortable. They always came back for him to hand feed them. Until their deaths.

Lee is a massive historical figure deserving of statues and musuems. A radically minded child might say he does not deserve honor and consideration. That would be rediculous. The man was against succession and had complicated feelings about the institution of slavery. Remember, he was born into that world, he did not invent it. He was in turmoil over succession because he was in fact a fan of the American Constitution and a US military man. Ultimately he joined with his beloved state of Virginia and family. Think. Learn. Contemplate. Humanize figures of the past. Learn from them. See them in context. Enjoy the beautiful works of art that memoralize their place in history. You dont have to agree with their cause. Just look at the whole picture with a mature and fair mind.

Our society is more and more ignorant about history.

As you well know, sir, loyalty to a particular native state meant a great deal more during the ante-bellum era than it does now, to such an extent that it's difficult for us to understand. I will always remember and admire Robert E. Lee, in taking the position that he could not draw his sword against Virginia. People who have a knee jerk reaction an automatically condemn all Confederate loyalists have zero comprehension of history. In my opinion it is always a mistake to judge other eras in history by today's standards. My father did not like the Japanese, but he also served three years in places like the Philippines, New Guinea and Okinawa, during World War Two, so he saw and knew things that I do not.

And made a Federation. This is why the USA is a "Constitutional REPUBLIC!" And the Constitution Protocol REQUIRES that all 100% of the elected "Common Wealths/later States" Representatives had to participate in the Congress "Law making PROCESS " And to be sure that a DEMOCRACY for MAJORITY to RULE was never used: The Fore Fathers made the REQUIREMENT to make LAW, that 63% of that 100% Representatives participating had to VOTE the SAME WAY, to make LAW. A 2/3rds VOTE! It was after the Civil War, that the Common Wealths were resurveyed into the now day States. Along with the rewriting of Constitution. The earliest days of the USA: it was "These United States of America." And after the Civil,War with the Rewriting of the Constitution the USA was "The United States of America."

Lee didnt have a plantation. He never owned his own home. Arlington was his wife's only for her life and then it was to go to Lee's oldest son so Lee never had anything except the money he made because he was a poor relative with a good name and went to the Military Academy because that was the way he could get a free education. his brother went into the Navy before him as a cabin boy and was first Commandant okf the US Naval Academy before the Civil War as well as a ships captain. Lee, by the way, served three years as Superintendent at West Point, the reason he was asked to serve as a college president after the war.

Lee still can’t get away from the Federal government. Took down his flags.

I was there in 1988 and I went back in 1997 got to see Stonewall Jackson's horse at the VMI Museum went to Stonewall Jackson's house Lee Chapel God save our history from the woke people in this country I can't wait to get back someday

We have heard this a few times on different videos. For some reason the music plays louder on some devices. Our videos lately we have tried to make the music very soft.

A great man was Mr. Lee. I don't blame him for fighting for the south. I would have done the same if I were in his position.

Sounds like a "woke" person who has no clue about history but just joins in the chaos and lies. Robert E Lee was a heroic man and someone to be respected just like Lincoln, Washington, Frederick Douglas, and all the other historical statues that have been torn down due to absurd biases from people like you.

Looking at today's government and what all the northern cities have turned into, reckon how many union soldiers would have refused fight ?

First off there were riots in some Northern Cities abut fighting. The War was not popular until the Emancipation Proclamation. Then they signed up. As for the violence in Northern Cities. It's a problem in all major cities. it has nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans. But your attitude did lead to an Insurrection and violence right into the Capitol Building. Talk about desecrating our history!!

I think that sounds a little harsh, given the despicable context in which he was born and raised, but I essentially agree with you. W&L is a private university though, and they can venerate whomever they wish. Virginia Military Institute, right next door, is also having a hard time squaring their contribution to that ugly part of our history with their current ideals.
