Lee is also lucky Lincoln and Grant were incredibly forgiving.
Throughout history, traitors like Lee would have had a pre dawn visit to the gallows
He wasn’t a traitir, they seceded. They were attacked.
Tell you what. If it were not for Grant, Lee, Johnston and Sherman, we would not have had a USA after Lincoln was killed.
The bastards in Washington wanted to hang Lee and go back to war, Grant basically told them that he would take up arms against them if they tried.
And that, was the end of that.
Lee was no traitor, he was an honorable gentleman....
...YOU are not!...So shut it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
