Deification of Lee is unseemly. Despite all his good points, he is, at the end of the day, a man who was responsible for the deaths of more loyal Americans than anyone other than Hitler.

I don't believe anyone is diefying General Lee, only offering respect that is due a great man.
"Despite all his good points, he is, at the end of the day, a man who was responsible for the deaths of more loyal Americans than anyone other than Hitler."
I believe that distinction belongs to old "Honest Abe".
