My feelings exactly. I saw that promo and thought the same thing, these people are uninformed or dishonest. Robert E. Lee was no son of privilege. He might have been, but his father squandered or mismanaged the family wealth and left the family destitute before he fled the country.
And regarding the earlier comments about Ridley Scott's "Gettysburg", I didn't even try to watch it. This stuff is just being turned out for mass consumption to reinforce a false history of the war and this battle. When I watch this "stuff" it just makes me angry, sad and fearful for our country's future.
