This guy kicked the Union's collective ass, against the odds, until his major fuckup at Gettysburg. Additionally, by all accounts, he was heavily beloved by his army. This man is an excellent example of leadership, both good and bad, and should be studied by all aspiring military leaders.
The ethics of the cause he fought for should not have any bearing on his leadership skills.

Especially compared to that drunkard on the other side.
Lee was wildely admired by everyone union and confederate. It's a modern day convention to hate him
I know he was respected, but did the rank and file yanks really admire him?
