That is nutty.
You are spamming. This is about Lee not Jesus Christ
I think I already answered you. We choose to remember the good. Washington has a solid legacy so his statues stay. They will be there for as long as America exists. On the other hand, there is no good in an insurrection to maintain slavery institution which is all there is to Lee.
Maybe I'm ignorant of history. Can you summarize his other achievements worth celebrating the same way I summarized Jefferson's and Washington's?

Nope - just check the link in Post # 37
and if you think the only thing to remember about Lee is Slavery- well, I'm not going to bang my head on the wall.
Its too bad that our education system only teaches one side of issues.
Of course, I prefer all three sides.

What’s the problem? History gets put in a museum. Statues are for winners.
You said "best news ever." I pointed out to you that The Gospel was the best news ever.
Except that system was ended in part of the country, people were moving on and the bondage of other humans was found to be a terrible evil. Slavery would have ended at some point in the south and it would have been no more than 30 or 40 years and it would have been over. Foreign countries and the Northern states would have ceased trading with the Confederacy and that would have been it.
Slavery continues in Muslim countries and no one tries to stop it. The Republicans abolished it here but not everywhere.
Spam it is
That’s funny, the same ‘education’ that suppressed Tulsa race riots until 90s,and even today you have to try so hard to learn about it is determined to paint Lee as nothing than a pro-slavery insurrection bandit? I’m amused
States rights was the issue. Slavery was an example of one if those rights. Tariff was the major festering boil.
Its not Spam, but if it is Spam is the only food a troll deserves.

Governments have “power”. People have “rights”.
Good point!
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
Really? Just where is that "right" spelled out in the Federal Constitution?
If you are talking about slavery - check out the 3/5 compromise

Interesting. Amendment X specifically contradicts that idea. "The powers...are reserved...to the people." Perhaps an individual person doesn't have "powers," but "the people" definitely do.
Oh that's right, I forgot. Black people were deemed not to be full humans.
Well. Mormons agreed with that until 1978!

Look, you made an obvious low-class trolling statement calling something, "Best news Ever!" on a Christian board. Then you got called on it, like you had to know you would be, since Gospel means Good News, which is hands up and Hallelujah! the "Best news Ever!"
All of your followup nonsense, especially all of your counterclaims and accusations, related to that is just more trolling. Perhaps you should start all of your posts with the refrain: "'Tis my reason, to spread folly, Troll-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie."
