Superb stream, a marathon effort, many thanks Apostolic Majesty and Charlemagne. The recent destruction of Lee’s statue is exactly what our enemies wish for us.

This episode is the best historical stream and podcast I've ever heard. Bravo, you guys are outstanding.

One could easily gather that the sheer vitality of his imagery has been solely perpetuated by the admiration that many illustrious Harvard alumni (Boston Brahmins) have had for him. He was after all known among them as the Saint of the South.
I recall a passage in 'Stars in Their Courses' by S. Foote, where one woman remembers gen. Lee by the following:"We had been honored by more than royalty.".

Absolutely incredible stream. Lee was a man for the ages that we should all emulate. Thank you AM and Charlemagne

Being born in california with no ties to the south, Lee was a footnote to me growing up. I'm glad to have a resource like this to learn more about him.

Looking forward to listening to this! Robert E. Lee was a great man.

Relatively new subscriber, I miss most streams when they’re live but have been binging the older ones. As an American with a deep love for history, especially my nations own, this may be the best singular piece of content I’ve ever seen on this topic. Thank you so much for what you do AM

[danielkitchens]

Anything about Robert E Lee will always get my attention.

[comrademlotov]

Such a great stream. Thank you both for this incredible show.

This was fantastic. As a native North Carolinian, I have great respect for any man who laid his life on the line for the sovereignty of his state during these times.

54:46 - describing Lee's personal qualities reminds me of Mrs Chesnut's description of him in the PBS film. She sees him basically as the reincarnation of King Arthur!

[NaillLookingforaHammer]

Thank you for this marvelous stream. Holding only a superficial understanding of the Civil War, I found this contrasted in the extreme with my previously held views on Lee. Outstanding.

This is a great episode on Robert e Lee and his life. I am a native Florida and my ancestors have been there since 1765. My ancestors were before the American revolution were in East Florida and of course we were there when the war between the states happened. Even though a lot of my ancestors did not have slaves. It was unthinkable. If the Confederate States actually won we would have gradual emancipation over the 5 year periods 1870 1875 1880 1885 189 and 1895. Obviously the former slaves and people who were not technically slaves of course we were together working and living all the way up to the present. In fact when I went to senior high school at the end of the 1970s we both talked and laughed about how the Hartley's had some slaves and yet we are together today because both black and white were together from 1861 until the present. I tried to have a comment sooner but my injuries and my disease prevented me from being able to do it earlier. This "presentation" is
at best, wrong, and sometimes is malevolent and its purpose is to sell the newspapers so to speak. Until the last 10 years in the US Robert e Lee was hailed as a great General and a great statesmanship. In the last 10 years for for a euphemism they are neo-marxist for all intensive purposes. I was born in 1961 and Robert e Lee was one of my greatest heroes and will always be one of my greatest heroes. As far as the United States of America and the Confederate States of America were both neutral in the sense that there was not bad or good and one was more virtuous than the other. The only really malevolent actor in my estimation is Abraham Lincoln. Today you will see Lincoln's legacy with the new neo-marxist in federal and many of the state governments.

Great Stream! On Sharpsburg/Antietam y’all called it a confederate victory, but I would consider it a tactical Draw with an overall Union Strategic victory.

We ´ve got the same problems in France. Statues of the Napoléon generals are removed by obscurs groups linked to all theses lgbtq etc movements, erasing our history, us true french. I call them revisionist without any amalgams.

Funny the pictures of Charlemagne on your desk, I am linked by blood with the Carolingians. In France too bloodlines run deep hé hé.

Cheers from France and thanks for your stream on this great man, general, husband and father. An absolute example of virtue in my opinion.

[superilikeeggsyo]

AM and Charlemagne is a dream team. Very nice stuff.

[GarfellowRoosevelt-quly]

Fantastic stream.

They can destroy the material but not the spirit.
