UNTIL VERY RECENTLY, Robert E. Lee was widely considered one of the greatest Americans, admired worldwide as a major and positive historical figure. That is certified by statements of at least five 20th century American Presidents and Winston Churchill. In present Woke America, Lee is now portrayed as a "traitor" and a bad man. So claim leftists, establishment "conservatives," and even some high-ranked generals who are bureaucrats, not soldiers. With his usual knowledge and sharp reasoning, Walter Kennedy disposes of the ignorant, shallow historical claims of the "Lee Traitor," school. Americans are required to take an oath to support the Constitution, an oath which Lee conscientiously obeyed, not whatever politicians are temporarily in federal power. And the Constitution defines treason as making war against "them," the United States, of which Lincoln, not Lee, was grievously guilty.
