Agree. Does a Robert E Lee statue need to come down? Yes. Does a building named after Jefferson Davis need to change? Sure. But digging up very specific details about a person who was not directly connected to the confederacy is just too much.
Most of these people who are viewed as heroes ended up swearing an oath to the United States and went back to the south to help re-build it to what it is today.

So, tell us everything you know about Robert E. Lee and the Confederate States of America.

People like you are the reason this is happening. You give in to the bullying and blackmail on two occasions. Why would they stop there when what the cancel culture really wants is to destroy any positive viewpoints of western civilization? The Confederate statue removals are tests done to see how much self-loathing and white guilt is out there. We've shown the cancel culture that it's pervasive, so it won't end. They'll come for every building, statue and monument that doesn't meet the social justice purity test.

Hmmm?
Swear a "verbal oath" to the US?
The Country they just tried to destroy over slavery, in fact one of those 10 confederate generals that a base is named for (that bone spurs is defending) wanted the south to be the World's first slavocracy built on the principles that the " white race is superior"( his words)
So the choices were to "swear an oath" or face treason, which at that time was probably a death sentence rather than life in prison
Hmmm, that "swearing an oath" seems to be a really attractive option right abt now?
One question:
When you make comments like the one above, why not tell both sides of the story to provide perspective & proper context?
