[QUOTE="SmokinM, post: 1701644, member: 21382"] Robert E. Lee is not a hero because he owned slaves. He was a hero as a military leader and his devotion to his state and in that day and time states rights were as valued as the country. Federal government and its over reach was still seen as intolerable. By many patriots it is still to this day. The Constitution and it’s basic rights were seen as the limits of what the federal government should be involved in. That was many amendments ago as well keep in mind. I would not expect him to have a statue in Wisconsin or really anywhere but here but he certainly deserved one here. At the Civil War museum if no where else. [/QUOTE]
