I admire Lee. He, like many of his Confederate soldiers, was too good for the power-mad, slavery loving regime he felt compelled to fight for.

Where do you get the idea that the South was “power mad”?
It was the North that was “power mad”. The South was
simply defending their homeland from invasion! Slavery was
not that big an issue until Lincoln got the idea he could
turn the southern slaves into a force against the South
with the Emancipation Proclamation. (he did not include
northern slaves in this.
