So, basically you are saying. Some people think Lee was an honorable gentlemen, some think he was a traitor, so basically it’s just an opinion.

Let’s get out of opinions. Let’s stick to facts
• Was Robert E Lee in the Confederate Army?
• Did the Confederate Army wage war against the United States?

If the answer to both of these questions is yes, we will then go to a third.
• Does being a member of an Army actively fighting the US Army (and invading the states of Maryland and Pennsylvania) meet the definition of treason in Article III, Section of the US Constitution?

So, I am waiting for your answers to these questions. As I consider the answers to be obvious (yes to all) I would appreciate it if you could give me any reasons for any no answers.

Both of those are your opinions! You do know you have advocated both positions don't you? These two opinions are in conflict; they are not compatible. That is why I'm pointing these things out to you.

I'm starting to think there may be a problem here that I'm ill-equipped to address.
