Real funny. Compare Robert E. Lee’s admiration and support in the North after the war, versus W.T. Sherman’s denigration in the South. Sherman was a creep who in his own memoirs admitted to a certain satisfaction in “making war” his way.

Saint Robert is mostly a post war myth created by the losers, as is the evil Sherman myth created by the same losers. Both men were good soldiers who served their causes loyally.

It would be better if you read real history instead of buying into the myths.
