the PEERLESS Lee did NOT "turn his back" on his NATIVE VA!

other than being a southern turncoat, george thomas was OK, i'd guess.

George Thomas loved the Union. His vision was different than Lee's, but it makes him no less honorable. His devotion to the Union cost him a high price, his family, his home, etc. One can admire him for that, even if we disagree with his cause.
