Removing Confederate Generals portraits?

[J. Beckert]

Mc Veigh was a vile, mentally twisted coward, Rich. He killed innocents (including many helpless children). I don't know if you're comparing him to Lee, but to me, there are no comparisons. Being a slaveholder didn't make Lee different from others who did, but how he treated them was light years ahead of his contemporaries. He educated them and freed them on his own. When asked what would happen to the slaves after emancipation, Lincoln's words were "Root hog or die". Quite a contrast, wouldn't you say?

The point of this thread was removing mention of Lee and Jackson from the War College. It's wrong, in my opinion.
