People should take some time to read Lee’s biography.
His record at West Point
His service in the Mexican American war
His character and experience which caused him to be offered the leadership of the Union and Confederate armies
The importance of states rights in 1860 thought
His instructions to his troops at Appomattox
His friendship with Grant
His service as President of Washington College
His efforts at reconciliation.
Then look in the mirror and see how you measure up!
Out of a nation of over 300 million people today, I doubt that there are even 10 people currently living here who could measure up to GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE.
If you found 10 I would probably drop dead of a heart attack.
