I'm inclined to think that since Lee represented the aggressors in this
war, he was a murderer. He killed men who'd done him no wrong.
Yes, this is simplistic, but I do not think war justifies much, and losing
a war justifies less. Pictures I've seen of Lee after the war, usually show
a sad man. Was he grieving for the lives he took? As you said, he didn't
leave memoirs.
