Here's the thing, The English considered Washington and Jefferson as traitors, and correctly, I supose.
But Robert E. Lee is considered a Traitor by his former controlmen.
He wasn't in a difficult position: he turned against the country that educated him, that supported him, and that he pledged loyalty to, in order to support a radical state that he was born to. Treason is treason/
Yeah right, that's why a US Navy Sub was named after him, USS Robert E. Lee (SSBN 601), Commissioned: September 16, 1960. But that's small potato's to the Century old US Army Base, Fort Lee, in Virginia.
It defies reality as well as commonsense that US military, and Congress, would bestow such honors on General Lee if they felt him a traitor???
