I do consider Robert E. Lee to be one of the greatest Americans to have ever lived. A Christian gentleman with excellent moral standards, and a brave soldier. I also consider him to be the greatest general in American history.

He doesn't get a word on Lee after what happened at Five Forks.
In March of 1870 General Lee and John Mosby had a chance encounter with each other in Richmond. Mosby told George Pickett that he'd just met with Lee, and so Pickett also wanted to meet with Lee, and "pay his respects".

Stunning victories while being out gunned and undersized. Having stonewall helped.

Same goes for his friends, Stonewall Jackson. I have a photo of Stonewall in my guest room.

He was one of the greatest, the CSA produced more great generals in American history than any other period.

Lee was perhaps the closest to a man of perfect virtue that we have ever seen, judging by accounts from his friends, allies, and enemies alike.
