So what,??? I think we have had enough eulogized of this loser. Everyone was born at some time or other. Lee is no different.If he had not married who he did he would have still been an unknown, sorting toilet paper in some no name post.

My Grandmother’s grandfather enlisted in the Georgia 21st Infantry and was at the Battle of the 2nd Manassas. The first day was known as the Battle of Groverton. The Ga. 21st was under General Thomas Jacksons command. He was discharged and sent home Oct, 1862 with the measles and re-enlisted Spring 1863 in the Georgia 8th Infantry and was wounded June 1864 at Cold Harbor, Virginia. He was sent home to recuperate but was unable to return.
