Lee, as a gentlemen, pursued and tortured slave women who, given their freedom by the terms of their owner’s will, raped them, sold their/his children into slavery in brothels. He did that for money.

He had Union soldiers murdered, in cold blood, when he could, (if they were of African heritage, or officers who served in African heritage units).

Lee sent a letter requesting pardon. A clerk properly filed that in the bottom of his desk drawer.

What book was this in? Al Sharpton's reparations 101?

You are mistaken, it was civilians that were murdered in cold blood... usually Southerners.

Lee sent a letter requesting pardon. A clerk properly filed that in the bottom of his desk drawer.

He later regretted his surrender.. as all Southerners did and do..

Sincerely and truly, your enemy,
