This is an very negative view of Lee's career that ignores his leadership skills, dismisses all his successes & salutes all his failures
Nope. Fair assessment. West Point grad, grabbed some victories. Was cruel to slaves and failed at Gettysburg. No sugar coating

@AmExperiencePBS special on Robert E Lee. Very balanced and good - 3 more replies
