He lived with his beliefs and he made them livable. He laughed and joked. He sympathized with others and comforted them. He was kind to all, both man and beast. He stood for truth. He stood for thoughtfulness of others.
He loved his neighbors. He could forgive his enemies. He worshiped and prayed. He obeyed the law. To those you follow him there is an example of The Gentleman Commander. This is just one of the many paragraphs that portray Robert E.
Lee’s more gentle sides in the book The Gentleman Commander. Most people see Lee as a hard knock commander who pushed his soldiers to their limit. At least that’s how I saw him until I read the book The Gentleman Commander. It points out that Lee wasn’t a bad man. Ever since Lee was a young boy he worshiped and prayed just like most people today. He didn’t hate the North like many Southern Commanders.
He was just fighting for what he believed. In my eyes, Lee was a good man that just got caught in the wrong beliefs. This book has changed my view of Robert E. Lee.
He used to be just a rebel to me but I now realize he isn’t, he is a gentleman. This book is historically important because it explains the life of the South’s most important Commander during the Civil War. It points out facts that prove Lee had a good character and has made a change on my view of him. By reading this book, people could see how the North and South weren’t that different when it came to their character portrayal..
