General Lee was a courteous man.

And Grant was an uncultured drunk, though he was less sadistic than Sherman.

An uncultured drunk? Your are citing what books that confirm that screed? He was a graduate of West Point, served very well in the Mexican War and was the winner of the Civil War. These are not deniable facts.

Ahhh the lost cause Myth raises it's ugly head.

Lee was a courteous man. Shame you have not learned anything from your hero.

"And Grant was an uncultured drunk..."

I believe that when Lincoln wanted to put Grant in charge of the army of the north, one of his advisors stated the exact same thing.......

Lincoln's response was something akin to: "find out what kind of whiskey he drinks and give it to the rest of my generals"
