Robert E. Lee- that spotless uniform
As Robert E. Lee once said, ''Whiskey- I like it, I always did, and that is the reason I never use it.'' It doesn't surprise me that he said this, though. I think it really explains a lot about Lee, and the type of person he was. It shows he had a great deal of self control. After all, as Michael Shaara's, The Killer Angels says: "An honest man, a gentleman. He had no "vices." He does not drink or smoke or gamble or chase women. He does not read novels or plays; he thinks they weaken the mind." This has also led me to wonder how Lee managed to always have a fresh, clean uniform all the time? Wouldn't this have been almost impossible to achieve since the Confederates had so few supplies?
