Lee never wrote a personal journal. Never wrote a memoir. So what are you referring to?
The metaphor I wrote in post #183:

Spivey sez: "Might makes Right! Talk to Sarge here if'n yew don't like it!"

Don't descend to the Spivey level, DoodleDawg. We've already got a couple of them wiping their posteriors with Lee's good name.
Lost Causers tend to have fertile imaginations. They imagine Robert E. Lee leading a post-war effort to free the slaves, they imagine the mechanization of southern agriculture that didn’t come until the 1940s would have appeared decades earlier, they imagine that the southern leadership really didn’t care about slavery and the war was about tariff policy, and now they imagine that Lee kept a journal.
