A real hero is willing to fight and die for his country.

You don't have to kill things to be a hero, but it helps.

(Killed over 9000 lunar rabbits in the 1969 Battle of Tranquility.)

Confederate States of America.

Lee was a traitor for siding with his state over the federal government.
But states meant a lot more back then than they do now, so I guess we can't really blame him.

Can't really call him an American hero, though, all the same.

Fuck you. Lee actually had character and was much more progressive than any of his colleagues. He's easily one of the best Americans in US history.

You don't get to be remembered as a good American when you try to overthrow the federal government and establish a rogue nation within her borders.

Fun fact: All the founding fathers were traitors for rebelling against the Crown.

Lee didn't WANT to secede. He just couldn't stand to turn against his home state. He was even invited by Lincoln to lead the Union army, but declined for this reason.

Nobody's impugning Lee's character.

It's just that he fought against the USA, and therefore cannot be considered a national hero, even if he did what he believed was the right thing.

I'm impugning the shit out of it.

He sympathized with the Union, was born in America, fought for America in the Mexican-American War, and exemplified many American virtues.

I'd say he still has a pretty strong case as an American hero.

>>2872937
Well you're a fucking faggot then.
Enjoy being wrong.

>>2872940
Lee was American, and Lee was a hero. But again, I think that because he lead the Confederacy's armies against the Union to good effect, I don't think we can consider him an American hero.
It's semantic nonsense either way, since we're both fans.
