3. Nathan Bedford Forrest
Perhaps the most feared general in American history, “that Devil Forrest” was the prophet of mobile warfare. His campaigns were (allegedly) studied by German proponents of the blitzkrieg and compare favorably to those employed by Rommel and Guderian. Though often considered a “cavalry leader” (he was probably the finest in American history), his task-forces were actually well-balanced mobile arms combat teams of cavalry, mounted infantry, and horse artillery. He also has the distinction of being the “fightingest” general in American history, personally killing with his own hands some 30 union soldiers (and losing 29 horses in the process!). Forrest was dubbed “The Wizard of the Saddle,” but he was in truth a wizard (and prophet) of modern warfare.
2. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson
His reputation for solidness on the battlefield earned him the name “Stonewall.” But this nickname belies the aggressiveness and rapidity of movement that became his hallmark on the battlefield. During the Valley Campaign, Jackson marched his infantry brigades so quickly and covered so much ground that they came to be known as Jackson’s “Foot Cavalry.” Brave, eccentric, religiously upright, and bold, Jackson was at his best when given independent command, perfectly complimenting his commander-in-chief, Lee, as a Corps commander. His crowning glory at Chancellorsville cost him his life when he was wounded coming back from an evening reconnaissance by his own sentries. It can be argued that the Battle of Gettysburg (and the Civil War) was lost the moment those shots echoed in the woods at Chancellorsville.

Who's talking censorship? I don't want my taxes going to support memorializing Confederate generals who in fact were traitors to the USA and fought for the cause of slavery.
If a majority of people feel like I do, and vote on it, the statutes will come down.
Jim I like this idea... lets vote on it. Problem solved

FOX News and the other networks to a lesser extent are very grateful for this rule. Every media outlet Americans have access too are grateful for this rule. (except Assange, he doesn't have first amendment rights) I cant believe Assange is still in prison, so much for "draining the swamp"

Besides in my opinion being against the First Amendment, I look on destroying historic, public artwork as falsifying history.
Keith Do you mean the history of the man the statue memorializes, or the history of erecting the statue itself? If the former, the loss of the statue doesn't cancel the man's history, which is preserved in many better places. (Like libraries and internet sources.) If you mean the latter interpretation, then I would reply that the history behind erection of the statue is of slight or dubious value. Jim

The jettison of the Monarchial God for the mass of individual gods has consequences Jettison of a monarch has had consequences, no singular direction for the country, constant shifts in foreign and domestic policy, complete incompetents for presidents for the entirety of my life. A monarch and a monarchial God is needed to unify the country peacefully. A monarchial government is the best government, except when the monarch is a human = flawed. We await the Perfect, sinless Monarch. In the meantime, my family and I would rather live here in this good 'ol USA than anywhere else. Hands down. Blessings Mark

Hi, Mark. Don't you find it interesting that the monarchy was the only or primary known form of government at the time the Bible was written?
Imho, that's why Jesus is spoken of as returning as king.

Jim Interesting point James. It is said that we humans seek two things; To minimize our pain. To maximize our pleasure. And that our mind, and body head us in those two directions. The soul however seeks greater things, mostly hard to figure out stuff. A Perfectly Righteous, Just, Merciful, Loving King would be good right about now. We humans do the best we can - with what we have. I'm back on the trap line in 98 degrees today. Rancher called and said "Get here asap. They killing my fawns!" Pay that tuition. Pay that tuition. Man it's HOT! Blessings, Mark

3. ROBERT E. LEE (1807-70)
The greatest Confederate general of the Civil War, Lee graduated from West Point in 1829, second in a class of 46, and joined the engineers. A Virginian by birth, Lee claimed that he fought for his home state more than for the Confederacy. The Mexican War-During the Mexican War, Lee served with distinction as a member of General Scott's staff at Veracruz in March 1847, and at Cerro Gordo the following month. His eye for reconnaissance and tactical improvisations led to Scott's victories reconnaissance and tactical improvisations led to Scott's victories at Churubusco, Chapultepec, and eventually to the surrender of Mexico City.
Lee worked a desk job from 1852 to 1855 as superintendent at West Point, after which he became colonel of the 2nd U.S. Cavalry and served in the Southwest until shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War. Lee was offered but rejected a top command in the Union army and resigned when Virginia seceded. On June 1, 1862, he replaced wounded General Joseph E. Johnston and took command of the Army of Northern Virginia. The Civil War-Lee became one of those rare generals who thought strategically, broadly designed his tactics, and took chances. He understood the generals of the North better than those generals understood themselves. He came up with the strategy for Major General Thomas J. "Stonewall: Jackson's Shenandoah Valley Campaign during the spring of 1862, making Jackson the most celebrated officer in the Confederacy-until he was later eclipsed by Lee.
In late June, Lee's smaller force bluffed Major General George B. McClellan's army into withdrawing, and two months later Lee outmaneuvered Major General John Pope and defeated the Army of Virginia at the Second Battle of Bull Run on August 29-30. On September 17, with a force half the size of McClellan's Army of the Potomac, Lee repulsed the Federals in a drawn battle at Antietam. After President Lincoln replaced McClellan with Major General Ambrose Burnside, Lee bloodied the massive Union army on December 13 at Fredericksburg. Lee's aggressive instincts were never more evident than at Chancellorsville. He ignored the maxims of warfare, divided his much smaller force, and on May 2-4, 1863, decimated the right flank of the Army of the Potomac with a surprise attack. But his greatest mistake occurred on July 1-3 at Gettysburg, when he was overly aggressive at a time when he should have fought defensively. He admitted the error and withdrew into Virginia.
By 1864 many of Lee's best officers had been killed and there were no more soldiers to replace those who'd been lost in battle. Forced to fight defensively, Lee held off Grant's offensive in the Battle of the Wilderness on ay5-6, at Spotsylvania on May 8-12, and repulsed the Union assault at Cold Harbor on June 3. Those battles cost Grant a third of his men, but Lee couldn't withstand the pressure and withdrew to Petersburg's trenches. It took Grant eight months to flush Lee out of Petersburg and force his surrender on April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House.
What Made Him Great? Lee's men adored him. In victory and defeat, they witnessed his great strength of character, his high sense of duty, and his humility and selflessness. Even Northerners accepted Lee as the greatest general of the Civil War. I googled Robert E Lee,since I wasnt familiar with his background.Looks like he was a very good general. But I can see why the blacks dont like him. Apparently he whipped his own slaves.

Dirt has been illustrating my point about history being readily available on the internet, without resort to some old pigeon-beshatted statues.
