 Hell awaits. those pompous ones.

A statue resembling Civil War General Robert E. Lee sold for $1.4 million on Wednesday after authorities removed it from a Dallas, Texas, park for representing racism.

The bronze statue sold after a bidder with the name “Law Dude” placed a $1,435,000 bid on the item, according to the Lone Star Auctioneers Inc. website.

Many other potential buyers placed bids on the statue, including the second-highest bidder who goes by the name of “MustangJerry.” He placed 41 bids from the start of the auction on May 26 and placed his last bid at $1,432,500.

    What a bargain for a man held in such high esteem. And the
    craftsmanship which tooled the likeness.
    My favorite is Nathan Bedford Forrest. If Sherman was obsessed
    with his capture, he must have been one Hell of a soldier.

      Enlisted as a Private with no military training, as I remember.
