I guess the "property" Lee lost were his slaves.  Of course his popularity grew in the North along with the KKK.  Please research some early Snohomish County history on KKK activities.   Being an apologist for the Confederacy or even Nazi Germany is plain un-American and has nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans.  There are no "good KKK members" or "good Neo-Nazis".  Anyone with a conscience knows it's wrong to own slaves or commit genocide.
