I think Americans think a lot of people are traitors to their country. They will be saying that about Julian Assange when he dies, too.
He was a traitor to the United States Of America.
It is pretty easy for pompous assholes to declare people traitors or heroes, isn't it? The simple fact is that the people who were alive back then did not judge him a traitor, he was not even charged. That tells me that they had more character than anyone that would pronounce judgement on a person they have never met.

Actually it was because Andrew Johnson pardoned everyone shortly after the war so no one could be charged with treason. Lee did lose his voting rights and status as a United States citizen though as well as most of his land.

Johnson Pardon was due to his discussion and advisement from a couple of supreme court justices because they was not any laws broken.

He actually granted amnesty, not pardons, there is a difference. Since you brought up the fact that the 14th Amendment stripped the Confederates of their citizenship, I feel compelled to point out that, since Congress retroactively restore Lee's rights to a point before he lost them, he never actually lost them.

Hmmmm.......so if I can't make my mortgage payment because I am in a legal dispute with my employer and I lose my house, and a year later I win the case and get back pay retroactive to before that time....does that mean I never lost my house?
I mean come on guys. The whole point is that Lee wasn't charged because of political reasons. It wasn't because he was so revered by north and south that no one would dream of doing so. There were MANY in the north that wanted his head on a pike...perhaps even most.
If that were true then most of the leadership[ of the Confederacy would have been hanged,perhaps even most.

He wasn't charged, that is the only point. Calling him a traitor. or a hero, is your pompous ass opinion, not a fact.
Please note that I have not actually stated a pompous ass opinion here.

Please note that neither have I stated a position on whether he was a hero or a traitor
