"Governor,If I had foreseen the use those people designed to make of their victory,there would have been no surrender at Appomattox Courthouse;no sir,not by me.Had I foreseen these results of subjugation,I would have preferred to die at Appomattox with my brave men,my sword in this right hand."

R.E.Lee to Governor Stockdale of Texas

Interesting letter...Obviously the General's blood preasure was up when he wrote those words.
