Both Lincoln and General Lee were patriotic, Reivew on Lincoln

As Washington's grandson-in-law, General Robert Lee was disgusted by the South's secession, but out of loyalty to his hometown, he refused to accept Lincoln's proposal to let him be the commander of the federal government. Dry. Originally, the war with disparity in strength took four years to survive because of General Li's team, and the soldiers from the north and the south were killed and wounded by one million. President Lincoln, who was about to be re-elected, saw that he could not end, creatively changed the domestic regional war into the war of liberation of black slaves, bought members of the conservative Democratic Party by bribing and selling officials, and passed the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, standing on the moral high ground to defeat the unified southern country, That is the main plot in the movie "Lincoln" (Daniel Day-Lewis's acting is great). Two moderates who didn't care much about when to abolish black slaves changed the trajectory of human civilization in a confrontation at war. In the end, General Lee retired and Lincoln was assassinated. Americans made statues of both of them, both as symbols of the national spirit. I think this is the best interpretation of American political wisdom and patriotism. It's an amazing way of thinking.
