re: #32 HappyWarrior

I always like threads like this because they’re very insightful. Good find VB. I have to admit it here that for a long time, I fell for some of the CSA mythos. I never thought the CSA cause was right or anything like that but I definiely fell for Robert E. Lee was a man of honor and crap like that. I was definitely guilty of viewing the war through only a white man’s prism.

It was only recently that I came to the realization that Lee wasn’t the immense strategic genius that the whitewashed history books make him out to be. He gets talked up so much because he was winning, but his opponents up until Grant were borderline incompetent. The Lost Cause authors gave him a reputation that I feel is undeserved, but it sticks around because we can’t disparage this noble, honorable warrior general.
