What does that have to do with what I said? He still took up arms for the side picking a fight over, primarily, slavery. You keep trying to make out as if Slavery was almost a minor aspect of the civil war rather than one of the central causes. I've said a number of times that there were other factors but every history I've read of it has slavery at its heart.
I don't even care that much about a statue because I've never see it or have to live near it but I am frustrated by people's unwillingness to understand why honouring confederate leaders and symbols upsets people.
