Why is it so hard to see this bottom line of the American Civil War, that its leaders weren't just traitors to the United States, but traitors to human decency?

Since Robert E. Lee is trending on the bird site, here's my 2017 explainer on Lee from when I worked for another media outlet. Like always, I got a lot of pushback (though nothing was incorrect). Had to revise it due to pressure, but the original version still lives on. ;) "How Robert E. Lee went from hero to racist icon"

Whoops, I did this instead of work 😛 Also, can't be said enough, Mount Rushmore was known to local indigenous groups as "The Six Grandfathers" (Tȟuŋkášila Šákpe) or "Cougar Mountain" (Igmútȟaŋka Pahá). These mountains all have a history that goes deeper than what's happened to them in the last 100 years, and I can't wait til that history is honored again, unlike what I did here ;-)
