He lost that title when he fought against America.

San Francisco even has a map now that shows where people have been leaving Pelosi's on the sidewalk.
That's right class. It is not a poop. It is a Pelosi. It is the legacy that she leaves the area she represented. Year by year, Pelosi has made excremental improvements to her district.
Maybe to you but he is still widely considered a phenomenally accomplished general.
Your intersectional games don’t work with me, Tony.
You openly call blacks Coons on this board and you are railing about a General 170 years ago who inherited slaves.
And kept those slaves,beat those slaves,and fought a war against America for them to stay slaves...and you and Trump think he is incredible.
The history is well documented.Robert E Lee was traitor against America,a slave owner,he had his slaves beaten,he fought as the top general in a war to keep blacks as slaves and you and Trump think he is incredible.
THE SLAVE OWNER
A career army officer, Lee didn’t have much wealth, but he inherited a few slaves from his mother. Still, Lee married into one of the wealthiest slave-holding families in Virginia — the Custis family of Arlington and descendants of Martha Washington. When Lee’s father-in-law died, he took leave from the U.S. Army to run the struggling estate and met resistance from slaves expecting to be freed.
Documents show Lee was cruel to his slaves and encouraged his overseers to severely beat slaves captured after trying to escape. Historian Elizabeth Brown Pryor said in a 2008 American Heritage article that Lee was angry about the slaves’ demands for freedom and “resorted to increasingly harsh measures to maintain control,” breaking up most slave families. One slave at Arlington, Pryor noted, called Lee, “the worst man I ever see.”

Robert E Lee was a democrat and he got a bunch of democrats friends together and they did not accept the results of the 1860 election.
You are a democrat and you hang out with your feminized democrat friends and you do not accept the results of the 2016 election.
You are a sick, vile person and you are not an US citizen.
To challenge this image of Lee, historians have lately noted the experiences of African Americans who were the legal property of Lee’s father in law, George Parke Custis (George Washington’s step-grandson), who died in 1857. As executor of Custis’s last will, Robert E. Lee was charged with freeing the bondsmen within five years. Yet some of the enslaved insisted they were to be freed upon their master’s death, causing a conflict with Lee that resulted in a failed escape attempt from Arlington plantation by three of the enslaved. Under Lee's order to “lay it on well,” each of the rebels endured up to 50 lashes and suffered excruciating pain as the wounds were bathed in brine. Lee also broke with Custis and Washington family tradition, separating most of the enslaved families under his control.
Than why is it that Trump,Laces out and most republicans think he is incredible?Democrats aren't the ones fighting to keep his monuments up its republicans.
