I find it appalling when people judge history using the mores of today. There is no point.......it was a different time.

Large men will be misunderstood by the small.

Lee was a pure gentleman who fought for the wrong side, for a reason different from the others on his side, with honor and dignity, respected by both sides.

He should have stuck to writing his review - he’s all over the map with this video presentation.

To: Davy Buck

“The power which the strong have over the weak, the magistrate over the citizen, the employer over the employed, the educated over the unlettered, the experienced over the confiding, even the clever over the silly — the forbearing or inoffensive use of all this power or authority, or a total absence from it when the case admits it, will show the gentleman in plain light. The gentleman does not needlessly or unnecessarily remind an offender of a wrong he may have committed against him. He can not only forgive, he can forget; and he strives for that nobleness of self and mildness of character which impart sufficient strength to let the past be the past.

Robert E. Lee on being a gentleman.

Mind rockrr not at all, Davy Buck - he went Full Spivey on a bunch of other Lee threads last week.
