[Robert E Lee] tried and hanged RADICAL ABOLITIONIST John Brown for treason... after surrendering, he became an icon for reconciliation...and eventually favored education for freed slaves, but opposed their right to vote

Truly inspiring heroism, like any good compromising centrist 😍

He considered slavery a greater evil to the white man to the black race, since blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa

So basically he thought they were doing helpless blacks a favor by enslaving them. Great argument you really convinced me we should keep this pure evil piece of shit's statue. I hope he's burning in hell as I type this.
