Hitler changed the government and its leadership first off by becoming Chancellor of Germany that gave Hitler the power to do anything he wanted really. also his passion when he talked to people in large crowds and how he got them fired up about the Great Depression because of the Jews and how the race that is supreme is Aryan and all this nonsense, he was able to get the crowd on his side and so the German government couldn't say anything or stop him. He turned the German government against the Jews and non-Aryan people.
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 :)
<span>It started out as a great idea:
The war had liberated nearly four million slaves and destroyed the region's cities, towns, and plantation-based economy.
It left former slaves and many whites dislocated from their homes, facing starvation, and owning only the clothes they wore.
The challenge of establishing a new social order, founded on freedom and racial equality, was enormous.
The Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands (usually referred
to as the Freedmen's Bureau) was a U.S. federal government agency that
aided distressed refugees of the American Civil War.
The Freedman's Bureau Bill, which created the Freedman's Bureau, was
initiated by President Abraham Lincoln and intended to last for one year
after the end of the Civil War.
Passed on March 3, 1865, by Congress to aid former slaves through
education, health care, and employment, it became a key agency during
Reconstruction, assisting freedmen (freed ex-slaves) in the South.
The Bureau was part of the United States Department of War.
Headed by Union Army General Oliver O. Howard, the Bureau was operational from June 1865 to December 1868.
It was later disbanded under Lincoln's successor, President Andrew Johnson.
The Freedman's Bureau spent $17,000 to help establish homes and
distribute food, established 4,000 schools and 100 hospitals for former
slaves.
This Bureau also helped freedmen find new jobs.
At the end of the war, the Bureau's main role was providing emergency
food, housing, and medical aid to refugees, though it also helped
reunite families.
Later, it focused its work on helping the freedmen adjust to their conditions of freedom.
Its main job was setting up work opportunities and supervising labor contracts.
On the negative side, it soon became, in effect, a military court that handled legal issues.
By 1866, it was attacked by former Confederate leaders for organizing blacks against their former masters.
Although some of their subordinate agents were unscrupulous or
incompetent, the majority of local Bureau agents were hindered in
carrying out their duties by the opposition of former Confederates, the
lack of a military presence to enforce their authority, and an excessive
amount of paperwork.
