"Ty Seidule scorches us with the truth and rivets us with his fierce sense of moral urgency." --Ron Chernow In a forceful but humane narrative, former soldier and head of the West Point history department Ty Seidule's Robert E. Lee and Me challenges the myths and lies of the Confederate legacy—and explores why some of this country’s oldest wounds have never healed. Ty Seidule grew up revering Robert E. Lee. From his southern childhood to his service in the U.S. Army, every part of his life reinforced the Lost Cause myth: that Lee was the greatest man who ever lived, and that the Confederates were underdogs who lost the Civil War with honor. Now, as a retired brigadier general and Professor Emeritus of History at West Point, his view has radically changed. From a soldier, a scholar, and a southerner, Ty Seidule believes that American history demands a reckoning. In a unique blend of history and reflection, Seidule deconstructs the truth about the Confederacy—that its undisputed primary goal was the subjugation and enslavement of Black Americans—and directly challenges the idea of honoring those who labored to preserve that system and committed treason in their failed attempt to achieve it. Through the arc of Seidule’s own life, as well as the culture that formed him, he seeks a path to understanding why the facts of the Civil War have remained buried beneath layers of myth and even outright lies—and how they embody a cultural gulf that separates millions of Americans to this day. Part history lecture, part meditation on the Civil War and its fallout, and part memoir, Robert E. Lee and Me challenges the deeply-held legends and myths of the Confederacy—and provides a surprising interpretation of essential truths that our country still has a difficult time articulating and accepting.

Excerpt from Robert E. Lee: In Memoriam; A Tribute of Respect Offered by the Citizens of Louisville This publication is made in accordance with the wishes of Confederate soldiers residing in this city, as expressed in the subjoined resolution, unanimously adopted at a meeting held October 17, 1870: Resolved, that a committee of seven ex-Confederate soldiers be appointed to collect and publish in appropriate form the various tributes of respect offered to the memory of General Robert E. Lee, deceased, by the citizens of Louisville. The following-named gentlemen were appointed to carry into effect the objects of the meeting, viz.: Messrs. D. W. Yandell, W. L. Clarke, W. H. Thomas, J. B. Pirtle, Prince C. Newman, R. W. Wooley, and Wm. J. Davis. For the handsome wood-cut of General Lee's birth-place the Committee is indebted to the University Publishing Company, New York, who generously tendered the use of the plate without charge.
