Stop West Point from erasing Robert E. Lee's history!

Stop West Point from erasing Robert E. Lee's history!

The Issue

West Point is going to erase everything to do with Robert E. Lee. He was a gallant American and noble Christian. Lee graduated from West Point in 1829 without a single demerit. He was also Superintendent of West Point from 1852-1855. Lee served the US Army for 32 Years and General Winfield Scott called Lee "the greatest military genius in America". He was also the first choice to Command the Union Army, but rightfully declined because he wouldn't raise his sword against his native state of Virginia. West Point is making a huge mistake and we need to put a stop to it! Please sign this petition to put a stop to erasing Lee's history from West Point!
