Woodrow Wilson was a racist too, so what, it's a false narrative put forward by people who have been co-opted by the remnants of the real Russian connection which subverted our politics back in the 1960's and remains to this day. The civil war is history and the nobility and courage of the southern men is well documented in history. Right or wrong in their beliefs, they showed a loyalty to their states (viewed more as separate country's) that is rare today. General Lee's contributions to the United States before and after the war alone would warrant a statue but that is not the point, this false narrative of "white supremacists" is nothing more than racist radical groups like Antifa and BLM trying to rewrite history and denigrate America.
