"Intentional fallacy" is a thing.  Do you think the creator of the statue wanted to show "Lee, the great Champion of Slavery?"  If so, why doesn't he have a manacled negro boy walking behind his horse?

No. . . the guy was a great leader, and his men and the people in Southern communities admired him.  You don't have to start talking about symbolism and intent.
