“Lee personally opposed slavery. But he did so quietly, you’d never have noticed it, what with the ‘owning slaves’ and the ‘enslaving captured Norther blacks - including free people’.

Lee was a coward. George Thomas and Winfield Scott, both Virginia Union men are people who should be honored. So much of what popular conception of Lee comes from people who wanted to make him a warrior saint and ignore his bad qualities including as a general.
