Of course, he committed no such acts, so you pin your opinion on a fallacy. But, I’m not surprised.

Lee made war against the United States, an act of treason.

He admitted it by applying for a pardon. So, was he a liar when he submitted his application for a pardon? Or are you a liar when you assert that he didn’t commit treason?

Choose wisely.

Lee sent an application to Grant and wrote to President Johnson on June 13, 1865:

Being excluded from the provisions of amnesty & pardon contained in the proclamation of the 29th Ulto; I hereby apply for the benefits, & full restoration of all rights & privileges extended to those included in its terms. I graduated at the Mil. Academy at West Point in June 1829. Resigned from the U.S. Army April ‘61. Was a General in the Confederate Army, & included in the surrender of the Army of N. Va. 9 April ‘65.
