Robert E. Lee vs. Twitter Historians

 

In June 2017, The Atlantic published a hit-piece on Robert E. Lee titled “The Myth of the Kindly General Lee.” The article made the rounds on Leftist echo chamber social media accounts and quickly found favor with the popular Leftist Twitter historians, a collection of “distinguished professors,” some without a substantial publication record, who like to trumpet their status as “actual historians” when “amateurs” propose a “lost cause” version of Southern history and the “Civil War.”

It has since been paraded by these “actual historians” as the conclusive popular article on “the fiction of a person who never existed.”
