Today is the birthday of a true American hero, Robert E. Lee. He was a foe without hate; a friend without treachery; a soldier without cruelty; a victor without oppression, and a victim without murmuring. He was a public officer without vices; a private citizen without wrong; a neighbour without reproach; a Christian without hypocrisy, and a man without guile. He was a Caesar, without his ambition; Frederick, without his tyranny; Napoleon, without his selfishness, and Washington, without his reward. - 1874, Benjamin Harvey Hill https://youtube/watch?v=8CCSPJ2PMuE
