Answer 1

Yes, both the car and the man:

The car is cool and has some serious horse power.
Robert E. Lee is considered "America's most beloved general."

Answer 2

Am I allowed to answer this question? Well I will try but most likely I will get reported. If you are speaking about Robert E Lee, he had many admirable qualities but was terribly misguided and by taking up arms against America he was a traitor. He did pennance for 'his' crime and so I am not advocating digging up his grave and despoiling his corpse or anything like that. Lee was an excellent educator was what he did for Washinton College was brilliant.
As a General he was brilliant and if that traitor (here is where I usually get reported and my answer deported) Jefferson Davis had listened to Lee and let Lee run the show then the South may have forced a Settlement. I do not believe the South could have 'won' the war. But a Peace Settlement was always an opyion. Lincoln fought hardest to preserve the Union. Most Americans were fed up with the South's shenanigans and were willing to let them go. Which was what Jefferson Davis and others had been plotting to do for decades! When I say Traitor, I mean an actual conspiracy. All these people on Yahoo Answers rlooking for a Good Conspiracy should examine the Piracy of the Confederacy.

However Robert E Lee was not a part of 'that crowd,' he did not actively work for succession, but when it was forced upon the South, this proud son of the South decided to fight for his Native Virginia. Lee fought well but a nation founded on the principles of slavery is ill and likely to sicken and die. As a Doctor Lee was no miracle Worker. If Lee had stayed true to America and taken command of the Union Armies he would have Won Immortal Fame and shortened the War to two at most three years.

And then instead of befuddled Grant, there would have been President Robert E Lee, a worthy successor to Abraham Lincoln.

Answer 3

Yes. I admire the man greatly. After being offered the post of General for the Union's armys he turned it down to lead the south, which included his people and home state of Virginia. It takes a man of great courage and resiliance to go up against those kind of odds and fight for what he believed to be true. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who will not agree that General Lee was twice the war machine of any of the Generals in the Union army, except perhaps Sherman, hence Lincoln first offering him the post. In a word, Yes, I like him.

Answer 4

No, then again I'm not from the south, don't hate blacks, and don't feel the need to pretend the war wasn't about slavery.


"America's most beloved general" what a laugh, the confederacy's maybe, Americas? what a load of .... He isn't even in my top ten.



Now maybe if he'd invented a nice chicken dish like General Tso or Colonel Sanders, he'd would be.

Answer 5

Of course, Any red blooded red-neck (no matter where they are from) also likes the General.

The car is a great machine, and the General's color stands out in my memory as one of the cars that I always wanted as a youngster...
Now, not so much...
But I still want the '32 Duece from American Grafitti if it is any consolation...

Answer 6

No. And in Bucharest, Romania, there are people without children, who found a stray dog, raised him and called him Clinton. But in a story I wrote for a movie-since I made the story up to take place in the late 19th Century-Clinton the dog "becomes" a female dog called Lee.

Answer 7

Yes he was Americas best general .
If he had not lost Stonewall Jackson.
THe south would have won the war

Answer 8

definetly yes.
simply because he was a good general and did not waste the lives of his men- and that is very rare.
I couldn't care less which side he fought for in the US- I live in Poland (though I guess I might change my mind if he were a German or a Russian... ;-)))
