the right celebrating a guy who was not qualified to hold his title i am starting to notice a trend here

People are often surprised to learn that Lee was an officer who never made it past colonel. The purported promotion to general was awarded by a treasonous cabal calling itself the "confederate states of america" which was put down by force by the Union army, which also had superior generals.

  1. Lee also had family members who served in the Union. At least 1 was higher ranked than him but it might have been 2. It’s been a while. I remember joking w/my husband that maybe we could say his middle name was a different Civil War era Lee.

  2. The right: SUPPORT OUR US ARMY TROOPS!

    Also the right: Beatify a guy who planned and implemented plans to murder tens of thousands of US Army troops.

  3. The superior general was Grant, who, in the western theater, worked his way south, Shiloh being a major battle where he learned that the last surge often won the day. He eventually oversaw the entire campaign. Many union generals were timid, and afraid that the reputation would be tarnished.
