I do not care about this north-south crap.

I do remember some of this stuff from history classes.

Lee was friends with US Grant. They would have little parties during the civil war and send each other personal messages.
A top graduate of West Point, Lee distinguished himself as an exceptional soldier in the U.S. Army for thirty-two years, during which time he fought in the Mexican-American War.

This makes the civil war seem like a bad joke on both sides.
