Here is the FDR Quote about Robert E. Lee That Liberals Never Wanted You to See
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, author of the New Deal, is a secular Saint for liberals. But he attended the dedication of this same statue in Dallas back in 1936, and he said something extraordinary about Lee. WOW!:

I am very happy to take part in this unveiling of the statue of General Robert E. Lee.

All over the United States we recognize him as a great leader of men, as a great general. But, also, all over the United States I believe that we recognize him as something much more important than that. We recognize Robert E. Lee as one of our greatest American Christians and one of our greatest American gentlemen.

Could you imagine what would happen if a liberal – or even President Trump – said that? After all, Lee thought slavery was a great evil and he worked to reunite America after the Civil War. While his judgment in fighting against the United States government was misguided, and the evils of slavery should never be understated, history is always more complicated than people may think.
