Level 8 · 7 mo agoI disagree 200% that Lee was brilliant. He was a traitor who marched his men into a slaughter.

Level 8 · 9 mo agoVisiting your own leg in a museum is just nuts! 🤣 Dan Sickles was definitely the drama queen of the Civil War. My husband would say that sounds like something I’d do lol. Loved the storytelling!
