I do not romanticize war. I find that the decisions made in times of great peril are much more complex than the pulling of the ultimate trigger, the dropping of the bomb.
I do know that it saved Mr. Lee' life, a slaves life and that he had a great and prosperous family.

All sides committed atrocities back then. Looking back at this part of our history, I don't know how humans still exist today.
