But...there still remains the matter of Lee’s character, which still looms above its critics... And that is Greenberg’s point.”

We should honor General Lee for this reason, if no other. What a remarkable man.

Except that Lee was a slave owner, and a person who served as slave overseer for a slave plantation.

A shameful thing that. One that the worshipers at the alter of Lee pretend didn’t happen, or worse yet, pretend it didn’t matter.
