REL was a very Southen man. He could direct the torture of a women with enthusiasm, if he thought he was within his rights. On the other hand, I am sure he was kind to puppies

General Lee's life is without blemish even though there have been numerous attempts to demonize the man (e.g. Alan Nolan's Lee Considered).

Yet, even though General Lee felt compelled to surrender at Appomattox and the yankees made every attempt to use this surrender to reduce Lee's stature, Lee became more popular with the general public, north and South, far surpassing his northern contemporaries, which chaffed the yankee politicians and revisionist historians to no end.

And it continues to this day.

So, meaker, it you have evidence that Marse Robert tortured women or children or even small animals (Lincoln doesn't count), then post that evidence here for all to see.

Don't work yourself too hard, meaker. We know you don't have any evidence to that end. You're just a typical yankee slinging schit and hoping some of it sticks.
