Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson are not inherently evil men because they fought for the confederacy.

They just went to war with the US to protect slavery and now there are schools named after them that black children go to.

Lee privately ridiculed the Confederacy in letters in early 1861, denouncing secession as "revolution" and a betrayal of the efforts of the founders. Writing to his son William Fitzhugh, Lee stated, "I can anticipate no greater calamity for the country than a dissolution of the Union." While he was not opposed in principle to secession, Lee wanted all peaceful ways of resolving the differences between North and South—such as the Crittenden Compromise—to be tried first, and was one of the few to foresee a long and difficult war.

They were also some of the greatest military commanders that fought for the US before the war, and Lee again after the war, and who were incredibly compassionate. Robert E. Lee himself is one of the reasons the southern states are as incorporated into the union as they are today, were he not such a great and gracious man, we would probably live in a country where the south was even more divided from the rest of the nation.

Actually a lot of the generals fought in the Confederacy/Union due to state loyalties rather than views. Back then people identified more with their state than the country (for example if you asked someone what identified with tehy would say "I'm a Texan/Floridian/New Yorker/etc rather than "I'm an American.).
