Who else finds it hilarious that all these people who all for the removal of Confederate statues because of the slavery issue (which was only a tiny reason, and one of many, for the civil war) are working for and are spending money which features the faces of slave owners? Do you know how ridiculous that is? What are you going to do? Burn your money? Issue your own money?

He sounds like a true humanitarian. If I ever own slaves I'll make sure that they are literate.

Who said I hate him? I just don't care about racist asswipes and whether they felt they were being good slave owners.
And if ever there was a larger oxymoron than 'good slave owner' I haven't seen it.

Again assumptions, embrace the ignorance, judge the 19th century by 21 st century morals I am sure that can never lead to bad assumptions.

No assumptions, owning another human being is disgusting and reprehensible no matter how far into the past you go and the fact that he went to war over it makes him not worthy of admiration.
You're free to feel otherwise though, it's a free country.

Members of the confederacy are 1. Losers of a war, and 2. Traitors to the constitutional values of our great Union.
They should not be celebrated and should be forgotten.
He was an imperfect American. The Confederates were not American, they were traitors to our great nation.
