Objectively speaking, Lee was indeed a great general and leader.
Not even remotely. He was defeated every time he faced a competent opponent.

Please don't confuse me with Americans. Holocaust denial is illegal in Canada, and any sort of celebration or positive statements about the Nazis is considered a hate crime.Maybe the Nazi topic isn't fully understood in America etc. by some peoples. Nazi symbols are forbidden in Germany, if they are "celebrated" it's chargeable.
From what I read, there are statues of Montcalm, and it honestly doesn't bother me. From my perspective, it happened over 250 years ago, on the other side of the country. And while we know how the country developed because the British won that battle, it would take a time trip into an alternate dimension to know how everything would have turned out if things had gone the other way.I wonder if Canadians would be okay with losing French generals/leaders having their own statues & holidays if (and this is highly hypothetical) the French colonists practiced slavery, the rest of Canada didn't, and we fought a war over it.
My grandfather's family would have remained in Acadia (Nova Scotia) and never moved to Louisiana; He would not have learned to grow sugar cane and then move to Hawaii in 1910. He would not have planted the first commercial macadamia nut plantation and my grandmother would not have been the first to develop the first chocolate covered macadamia nuts and sell them in stores.it would take a time trip into an alternate dimension to know how everything would have turned out if things had gone the other way.
And nobody would have included macadamia nuts in the baked stuff I got for Christmas (that I can't eat).My grandfather's family would have remained in Acadia (Nova Scotia) and never moved to Louisiana; He would not have learned to grow sugar cane and then move to Hawaii in 1910.

The long version is even better.We can blame all our nut allergies on Bird's ancestors. Thanks, BJ! Nice story though
Not even slightly, there are loads. The wiki page is long enough, and I bet it is incomplete. I am surprised there some in California.Are Lee and Stonewall Jackson and Jefferson Davis the only ones who have statues?
