“Lee was a traitor who resigned from his teaching position at West Point... He should have been hung and his Army decimated in the Roman sense of the term”.
In the first place you don’t know what you are talking about. Lee was stationed in West Texas at the beginning of Secession. He took a leave of absence to take care of business affairs at the Arlington Plantation and was home and available for service when the John Brown incident came up. He then was offered the Command of the Union Army which he declined and resigned his Commission.
Only when Virginia seceded did he join the military forces of his Native State. He was not a “traitor”.
And btw, since you would have liked to have had my GGrandfather murdered, I would like to invite you down to Texas and try it on me as he’s not here to defend himself.
Lee went to Texas after John Browns raid, which was two full years before Virginia's secession.
