know.your.why: I doubt it. Compared to General Washington, General Napoleon Bonaparte, Genghis Khan. Nah...Lee was a great military leader but he paled in comparison to other military strategists who were brilliant standouts that conquered nations.
You see: Here we are, calmly and respectfully discussing Lee's generalship - without having to resort to "name-calling" (i.e., using epithets such as "Neo-Confederate"). It's called "having a difference of opinion" and "engaging in polite discourse."
You originally wrote:
Neo-Confederates are groups and individuals who portray the Confederate States of America and its actions during the American Civil War in a positive light. Alabama is full of em. Guy I worked with calls General Robert E. Lee the greatest general that ever lived.
Yours was an apparent attempt to paint anyone who speaks favorably of Southern military tactics as a "Neo-Confederate." At least, that is the implication.
By that same defective logic, one could call anyone who marvelled at the engineering of the Me 262 or the battlefield accomplishments of, say, Rommel a "neo-Nazi."
