Robert E. Lee fought on the confederate side which was the southerners. He owned slaves and was for slavery. So white supremacists see him as an symbol for slavery, and since he was for slavery like how most southerners wanted he fought for that. Now that slavery is mostly abolished everywhere (there is still slavery going on) the white supremacists don't like that and are against it. They think they are more superior than any other race. With the Virginia protests with removing the statue the group of the supremacists said "you will not remove us" or something close to that I forgot. This is off what I remember because I just did an assignment on this. Also they think he was a good general because he fought for white supremacy, so yes he was a supremacist. That is why so many racists are protecting his statue. There is an article that I can send you in your pm if you would like.
Hopefully this somewhat helped :)
Explanation:
THE BIELSKI PARTISANS
Despite great obstacles, Jews throughout occupied Europe attempted armed resistance against the Germans and their Axis partners. They faced overwhelming odds and desperate scenarios, including lack of weapons and training, operating in hostile zones, parting from family members, and facing an ever-present Nazi terror. Yet thousands resisted by joining or forming partisan units.
KEY FACTS
1
Operating in Western Belorussia (Belarus) between 1942 and 1944, the Bielski partisan group was one of the most significant Jewish resistance efforts against Nazi Germany during World War II.
2
While its members did fight against the Germans and their collaborators, the Bielski group leaders emphasized providing a safe haven for Jews, particularly women, children, and elderly persons who managed to flee into the forests.
3
Under the protection of the Bielski group, more than 1,200 Jews survived the war, one of the most successful rescue efforts during the Holocaust.
Answer:
temperance, woman's suffrage, and anti-slavery
Explanation:
A desire to reform the U.S. arose out of the Second Great Awakening. The U.S. temperance and abolitionist movements were both greatly influenced by the revival movement and its messages. The temperance movement encouraged people to abstain from consuming alcoholic drinks in order to preserve family order. The abolition movement fought to abolish slavery in the United States. The women's rights movement grew from female abolitionists who realized that they too could fight for their own political rights.
Answer:
Explanation:
Standard Oil dominated the oil products market initially through horizontal integration in the refining sector, then, in later years vertical integration. The company was an innovator in the development of the business trust.
The Standard Oil trust streamlined production and logistics, lowered costs, and undercut competitors. "Trust-busting" critics accused Standard Oil of using aggressive pricing to destroy competitors and form a monopoly that threatened other businesses, due this gave standard oil and edge over competitors which kept the company in a pole position in the downstream oil and gas sector.
After the passage of the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1890, standard oil was broken up in 39 different companies that are major players in the oil and gas industry till date, as thus controlling a larger percentage of world oil distribution and supply.
