Comment: Lee was not arrested or charged since Grant's got Lee off with an agreement to not allow Lee to vote for the rest of his life and the federal government took some of his property and that included the property of Lee's that today is Arlington National cemetery. It was not long ago that the feds paid the estate of Robert E Lee for the land they took for the cemetery after the end of the Civil war. Lee was a traitor.  It is not well known that the South he fought for was far from pleased that the seasoned General Lee whose aggressive tactics he employed in battle led to the deaths of thousands of his own confederate soldiers and was considered be an extremely high battle casualty rate. Not only an American traitor but willing to sacrifice his men to get the job done. Nice man.
