I wrote the coverage of Arlington Nat'l Cemetery for the Unofficial Guide to DC. I'm proud of not mincing words in talking about Lee's role in its creation.

Except that Union victory ended around 850k deaths, emboldened US interventionism, ultimately in WW1, leading to the rise of Hitler, the Holocaust, etc. If the Union had only let Ft Sumter go and the Confederacy fail or reform on its own, what lesser human toll overall would it have been?

Did they Confederate Army really surrender. Seems like this war is still being fought, but not on the battlefield.

One of my Great, G, G, Uncles escorted Lee to the McLean's house to meet with Grant. We still celebrate in our family.

First they were slavers. Then they were traitors. Now & forevermore, they are losers.
