Lee thought slavery was okay.
That's debatable.

“He was not a pro-slavery ideologue,” Eric Foner, a Civil War historian, author and professor of history at Columbia University, said of Lee. “But I think equally important is that, unlike some white southerners, he never spoke out against slavery.”

he should’ve spoke out against it. I can’t for the life of me understand how anyone could view these guys as hero’s. The fact you got stuff named after them is very telling.

I don't view them as heroes ... just people in leadership positions in their time and culture.

I can’t for the life of me understand how anyone could view all people born before 1940 as criminals and unfit for remembrance.
Seems pretty stupid and self-centered to me.
