Had Virginia not seceded from the Union, General Lee would be remembered today as one of the most beloved presidents in American history.

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.

Instead we remember him as the guy who got whooped by the North at Gettysburg
