I disagree with your comment on Robert E. Lee. Because of this man hundreds of thousands of people died needlessly in order to justify a horrible and inhuman practice: Slavery. Yes there were other issues in the Civil War besides slavery. However, any participation in this horrible practice which Lee knew would surely continue if the South won is not only wrong but evil.

I was referencing his record on the Mexican-American War, not the Civil War, which is -- as you implied -- a much more complex subject.
OK. I get it, different war. I forgot that Lee was involved in the Mexican-American War.
