“Robert E. Lee was a traitor who took up arms against his country.

He was given amnesty because he admitted it and repented.”

Can you cite the sentence where he admitted to being a traitor and repented?

“Can you cite the sentence where he admitted to being a traitor and repented?”

“I Robert E. Lee ofLexington Virginia do solemnly swear, in the presence of Almighty God, that I will henceforth faithfully support, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the Union of the States thereunder, and that I will, in like manner, abide by and faithfully support all laws and proclamations which have been made during the existing rebellion with reference to the emancipation of slaves, so help me God.
R E Lee”

Henceforth.
