He lost a couple of major battles, but, won a lot more than he lost and played an essential role in American history.  There is no telling what happens if he doesn't discover the routes that Mexico left unguarded.  Not my fault you're a history illiterate.  Every time you label an important historical figure with a simpleton title you expose yourself as the autistic retard that you are. I'd suggest just shutting it down on most topics that you're not capable of debating.  

Trying to argue that a confederate general wasn’t a loser, lol.

”He won more than he lost!”  Sounds like something a Chief Diversity Officer would say.

Every Superbowl champion wins more than they lost in that year. Just because they lose the next year it doesn't take away their title of champion. 

Tom Brady had more seasons not being champion than he had as champion and he was still the best ever.

Now don’t get mad because your grammar is poor. Trying to help you use the word properly so you don’t look so dumb. 

You’re welcome!

Every time these things come up we want to sit in judgment of a time long gone.  By today's values, most every man of that time was flawed.  The truth is that at the time, people often viewed themselves as citizens of their states first.  The entire populace would have had to have been "traitors", and if it happened today they would be.  But that wasn't the case in that period of time. 

The concept (fact) seems so simple, yet it's lost on so many. It's 100% the case in General Lee's case. All you have to do it look at his life history. 

In simpletons terms: not a bad dude.  

Simpletons that won't get off the couch unless it's shower time with the kids.  Any of the men back in those times would be disgusted with these foking weaklings.

You don't get it. You're not capable. Confederate bad no matter what.  That's what you've been trained.   

I'm just letting you know it exposes your intelligence level. 

He may not have been a bad person, but he was a traitor to the country.  Fact.

I really don’t give a sh1t if there’s still stuff that’s named after him.  But to go out of the way to (re)name something after him is stupid.

A - No it wasn't. The north had to declare war and hope take over the ports or they starve to death. That's just fact and your gradeschool American history lessons are wrong.  

 

According to the National Park Service, in 1960 the North produced 1/2 of the nation’s corn, 4/5 of its wheat, and 7/8 of its oats. But I am open to reading other sources if you have them.

Four states cited slavery as a primary reason in their articles of secession.  The VP of the Confederacy specifically cited slavery as the “foundation” for the new government.

You really are stupid. Our entire country was founded on being traitors. Put your metal helmet on and fock off.

It's no coincidence that it's always the racists that defend the Confederacy.  But no it's not about slavery.

It was a factor, not THE reason you lemmings believe.  

Let me guess you didn't know Lee was instrumental in the Mexico-American war, you didn't know he was fundamentally against slavery, and you couldn't possibly list out a reason why he should be considered a traitor.  

You should stay down, you're way out of your league here.  

Well, there was that matter of choosing the Confederacy over his the United States of American and taking up arms and leading an army against it.

Fort Pickett

According to the Army’s Tuesday announcement, Fort Barfoot, a Virginia base previously named after Confederate General George Pickett, will be named in honor of 1st Lt. Vernon W. Pickett, a soldier who received the Distinguished Service Cross for his heroism during World War II.

While pinned down by enemy machine gun fire, Pickett crawled forward and destroyed two enemy positions with grenades, the Army said. He escaped from a transport train after being captured, rejoined his unit and was later killed in action.

Fort Hood

Fort Cavazos in Texas will be renamed Fort Hood in honor of Distinguished Service Cross recipient Col. Robert B. Hood, who fought in World War I.

In 2023, it was named after Gen. Richard Cavazos, who served in both the Korean War and Vietnam War. He was the first Hispanic four-star general in US history.

Fort Gordon

Georgia’s Fort Eisenhower will revert back to Fort Gordon, this time honoring Medal of Honor recipient Master Sgt. Gary I. Gordon, who during the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu, Somalia, defended wounded crew members at a helicopter crash site.

The base, which was previously named after Confederate General John Gordon, was renamed Fort Eisenhower after General of the Army Dwight Eisenhower, who went on to serve as the nation’s 34th president.

Fort Lee

A Virginia fort once named for Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee will carry the namesake of Pvt. Fitz Lee, who received the Medal of Honor for his service during the Spanish-American War.

The fort was renamed Fort Gregg-Adams after Lt. Gen. Arthur Gregg and Lt. Col Charity Adams in 2023. Gregg helped desegregate the Army, including at Fort Lee, while Adams, in 1944, “was selected to command the first unit of African-American women to serve overseas,” according to the congressional naming commission. Her service was chronicled in the 2024 film “The Six Triple Eight.”

Fort Polk

Gen. James H. Polk, a Silver Star recipient and commanding officer of the 3rd Cavalry Group in operations across Europe during World War II, will become the new namesake for Louisiana’s Fort Johnson, according to the release.

The fort had been renamed in honor of Sgt. William Henry Johnson, a Black soldier who was considered one of the first heroes of World War I after he fought off about two dozen Germans alone, killing at least four.

Fort Rucker

Fort Novosel will be redesignated as Fort Rucker, in honor of Capt. Edward W. Rucker, a Distinguished Service Cross recipient and aviator that flew behind enemy lines in World War I “in a daring aerial battle over France, disrupting enemy movements and completing their mission against overwhelming odds,” according to the release.

It was previously renamed after Chief Warrant Officer 4 Michael J. Novosel Sr., who served in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War, where he flew 2,543 medical evacuation missions.

Fort A.P. Hill

The Army will bring back the Fort A.P. Hill name to Fort Walker, this time honoring Lt. Col. Edward Hill, 1st Sgt. Robert A. Pinn and Pvt. Bruce Anderson, three soldiers who fought for the Union during the Civil War.

The Virginia fort previously was named in honor of Lt. Gen. Ambrose Powell (A.P.) Hill, a Confederate commander. It was renamed Fort Walker in 2023, after Dr. Mary Walker, the Army’s first female surgeon who was ultimately awarded the Medal of Honor for her service during the Civil War.

So pathetic.  They can't even rename the bases after the actual people, they have to find randos with the same name.  Such children.

Link?  As far as I can tell, there is one (so statue, not statues), which was a gift from the US and is technically on top of soil from Virginia - https://www.military.com/history/george-washington-statue-london-british-soil.html

Nice try though.
