Robert E. Lee and Me: A Southerner's Reckoning with the Myth of the Lost Cause by Ty Seidule

3.0

This is a great book and one that definitely needs to be read by anyone that doesn’t really understand the problem with Robert E. Lee and the confederate monuments still standing in the US today. It’s like if Germany stood up a bunch of monuments to Hitler after WWII - that would be ridiculous and so too is the South’s love of their confederate past. It’s disgustingly similar to the issues we see in recent times with the insurrection on Jan 6th. So many parallels. The reason I’m giving 3 stars instead of 4 is that I found it repetitive, a better editor was needed here but overall a recommended book.
