Robert E. Lee didn't hate black people. You do. I don't know what lessons you learned from him, but they were all the wrong ones.
Grant is. Or Sherman. Or Sheridan. Meade has a temper problem.
None of the Northern generals had good character. BTW, do you know where the term "hooker" came from? Now there's some trivia that most people don't know about.

From what I've read about Lee he was never a strong proponent of slavery, in fact he thought that it was ultimately unproductive and unsustainable. He also thought secession was a grave error, a failure of corrupt and incompetent politicians to compromise on important issues. But his loyalty to his home state, his sense of honor and duty contemporary to the time determined his course of action and supercedes all other considerations. He was a man of his times.

Then how come he went to court several times to prevent the emancipation of his father-in-laws' slaves (as his father-in-law provided in his will)?
very good one. I always forget him. What tid the south have in the strength of character stakes? Bragg?You threw him up as if someone had mentioned him as having good character. You and only you brought him up in that regard.Was Thomas Hooker mentioned by anyone else before you? Why, I believe not.Grant is. Or Sherman. Or Sheridan. Meade has a temper problem.

And?
As for me....I agree with the poster who put out Joshua Chamberlain's name.
excellent question. Bear in mind it was an expensive proposition proposition. But it was far more expensive proposition in Missouri than Virginia for broke Grant to free his, (a white elephant gift) and he did it in a year.

I give up. Why?

Grant did it, despite the greater cost of mamunition. Lee fought hard to vacate his father in laws mamuniton clause in his will. It was horribly expensive to do it in Missouri. It wasn't cheap to do it in Virginia, but it was a whole lot easier.
actually, he WAS comparing contemporaries.
That's not what the post said. He just compared two contemporaries and how they responded to similar situations.
Trying to add a lot of stuff that was not said in order to gin up some areas to disagree with is not honest argumentation.
Grant is. Or Sherman. Or Sheridan. Meade has a temper problem.
So you think a Democrat should be a role model for American Youth? So do I. Just not that one.
