Okay.

How would you revise the plaque on the statue of Robert E Lee considering you have no agenda at all?

What makes you think it needs revising?

What do they say?

I'm sure you know without looking.

....but you will and just did.

How about"

Robert E. Lee
Betrayed his comrades and country
Murdered American soldiers
That men might be slaves
And lost

Sounds fair.

When were these statues erected btw?

All over the south.

If that plaque suggestion's too long for your tastes, I've boiled it down to:

Robert E. Lee

Slaver Traitor Loser

Uh....just asking when these statues were erected.

Sorry, misread it.

Most of them went up in the 1890s. There were smaller waves of statue building in the 1920s and 1950s.

Apparently putting them up 30, 60, and 90 years after the Civil War isn't revisionist at all, but taking them down 150 years after the war is.
