This Yankee happens to think Lee was a fine honorable American
He was a fine honorable American. His enemies are those that lack hence hate honor.
on antique roadshow the Confederate memorabilia always goes for ten times the union crap. who wants that union filth?
My family fought in the West the whole war, Veteran Volunteers, Union, lost one or two.
I am a Longstreet fan but Lee did what he had to do to expand the war and bring the Limeys in, which I believe was the plan. He screwed up at Gettysburg, wrong attack at the wrong place. He was an honorable man.
He was in my opinion as well. And evidently a fine general given the circumstances.
Evidently, Grant thought so as well.
Me too
“...Lee was a fine honorable American.”
1) Lee was an honorable man, but the word ‘honor’ expressed a different concept than it does today.
2) Lee considered himself a Virginian before American.
