Where did you yank this "devil incarnate" business from??? Like I've already asked, even assuming Lee really was a hero after the war, how many of the statues of him DON'T show him in Confederate military uniform? Whether on not he earned absolution, Byrd's portrait in the Senate sure don't portray him in KKK costume.
