Look, I don't consider myself a conservative. I consider myself a patriot, as does Trump I suspect. Also not into virtue signaling. Although I am certainly glad the Union won, General Lee was a giant in military history, there is no dispute. Lee also sided with the confederacy largely because his state choose that side and, as a son of Virgina, resigned his commission in the US Army to take command of the Army of Northern Virginia. General Lee was a man to respect. Jesus, what's Washington and Lee University going to do as you Virginians whitewash your proud history. Virginia has nothing to be ashamed about.
