The point clearly is that all historical figures are flawed because they all are human.

No doubt that General Lee and Lincoln were both great men.

But if you and your ilk wish to start tearing down statues of General Lee, then you can expect Lincoln and his cronies to be exposed for what they were: scofflaw, arrogant, self-serving, politicians who were fundamentally racists that wished to expel blacks from the U.S.

General Lee, by contrast, wanted to educate blacks so that when they were freed they could be successful in society;  his will stipulated manumission, not deportation from the US.

You wish to apply the mores of 2017 to 1861;  that is quite unfair.

Your 1st sentence about the Emancipation Proclamation is nonsensical.

You know nothing about the War and obviously have no desire to learn anything.

You only wish to advance your simple-minded, politically-correct tripe which is so fashionable in the 2017 lying MSM.

Sic semper tyrannis!
