Washington the slaver >by age 11 owned ten slaves >during the American Revolution, many of Washington's slaves escaped Mt Vernon, and joined up with British loyalists, directly fighting against the American Continental Army >by the time of Washington's death, he controlled 317 slaves at Mt Vernon >of the 317, he owned 123 as his personal property >40 were being rented from neighbors >153 were owned by him through his marriage to Martha Washington, who acquired them on the death of her first husband, Daniel Parke Custis >on George's death, Martha freed most of George's 123 slaves >but her 153 slaves were left for her son, John Parke Custis >John Parke Custis's slaves and plantation at Arlington were later given to his son, George Washington Parke Custis, who grew up at Mt Vernon with his grandfather, President George Washington >George Washington Parke Custis's daughter was Mary Anna Custis >Mary Anna Custis married Robert E Lee >on the death of George Washington Park Custis, his slaves were given to Mary Anna Custis Lee & her husband Robert E Lee
Robert E Lee >grew up with only two slaves, both as personal attendants >wrote in a letter to his wife that he found slavery to be morally and politically evil >the plantation at Arlington which he inherited is now known as Arlington National Cemetery, the cemetery for US Armed Forces, which has over 400,000 graves for people who served in America's wars from the Civil War to now
Tl;dr: Trump is 100% correct to connect George Washington to Robert E Lee, as George Washington's slaves ended up in Robert E Lee's possession through marriage. Lee hated slavery, while Washington was a slaver since the age of 11.
If the Left wants to attack and remove Lee from history, then Washington must be removed as well.
One is a symbol of white nationalism, the other is the founder of our nation faggot
William King
Don't forget that he basically married into Washington's family fortune since his wife was descended from one of Washington's grandchildren. Lee's grand estate at Arlington was passed down through the Custis line.

George Washington was the second biggest white supremacist in history, only suprassed by Thomas Jefferson.
The first confederacy was the United States of America. The American Revolution wasn't fought because of taxes on tea. It was fought because England had just outlawed slavery, and the rich slaveowners in the American colonies didn't want their white supremacy taken from them.
George III let it be known that he was going to order all the black slaves in America to be free. When he heard of the rebellion, he said that any black slave who fights against the rebels will be granted freedom and the land on which they kill their white masters.
America is founded on slavery. The first war for slavery was the American Revolution, and the slavemasters won.
Luke Garcia
Great thread. Looking forward to the queers and niggers saying it doesn't matter since Washington is our "icon" or some other retarded shit that they create in their psychotic minds.
Carson Jenkins
*I meant one of Washington's stepchildren, who would have kept the surname Custis.
Ryder Clark
so much retardation
Luke Collins
Actually, he's cool now thanks to the makeover he got in Hamilton.
Ayden Fisher
Yeah I remember when Washington took up arms against the US, OH WAIT HE PUT DOWN TWO REBELLIONS

WHY THE FUCK IS GW A NIGGER
Landon Russell
The entire point of that play is to racebend all the people involved.
Leo Gomez
>make a play called Hamilton for niggers >forget to do historical research >turns out Alexander Hamilton was a slaveowner Niggers, will they ever learn?
Charles Price
>Hero general of the Mexican-American War >white nationalism
Christopher Martinez
He committed treason against his king, ignorant nigger
Lucas Williams
Go study history. Lee was against leaving the Union and only fought after being asked to lead Virginians.
Charles Ward
Everything you just said is wrong but since you're a leftist scum why bother
Landon Howard
I'm not a leftist. I'm arguing that Trump is 100% correct to connect Lee to Washington.
I'm arguing that either the left starts going after the Founding Fathers to balance out their hypocrisry, or the right needs to confront the sheeple with these facts.
Cameron Wilson
> lee was actually a Unionist.
OK. Then confederates shouldn't celebrate him because he was a shill who lost the war. And the north never will because he killed northerners.
Why would anyone honor him?
Nathan Scott
To expand: America really was founded on racism and white supremacy.
If you're against racism and white supremacy, then go after the Fathers.
If you're for the Fathers and America, then stand up and defend racism and white supremacy.
Even the Union was pro-white supremacy. Here is Abraham Lincoln in his own words in May 1861: >Our republican system was meant for a homogeneous people. As long as blacks continue to live with the whites they constitute a threat to the national life. Family life may also collapse and the increase of mixed breed bastards may some day challenge the supremacy of the white man.
"The supremacy of the white man." That's Lincoln. This is the time when whites must confront history and choose their future: either stand for white supremacy or side with Antifa, BLM, the destruction of our national history, and the genocide against whites
Julian Gomez
Robert E Lee was a Democrat. Democrats like Robert E Lee & Robert Byrd are supposed to get free passes.
The Democrats still host the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner as a fundraiser. Named for two of the most racist men in history!

I'm gonna need to see a source on all of those claims there.

Jacob Hill
Im confused. Why did lee join the confederates if he found slavery to be so reprehensible? states rights?
