Well the history is still in the history books. The civil war and Robert e Lee will be covered in high school history classes. It's just that statues of him are taken down. Rightfully so in my opinion. He's a traitor to the United States of America. He ordered people to kill Americans. He shouldn't have a statue dedicated to him in our country.
