Reference #6 and #10 - my vote goes to Wagglebee.

Lee was one of very few who simply cannot be faulted,
another Washington, but for a failed and flawed cause;
a man deserving of his own holiday as much as ANY other.

The cause was not flawed....the rights and freedom and Constitutional government desired was overridden by a repressive industrial North...and the South was itself enslaved for a hundred years and even in part to this day...

The CAUSE is dimmed by big government ...not failed
