u.s. popular culture is seen as the greatest general of the civil war, his stature eclipsing that of ulysses s. grant, who as we know, right, have talked about, was the key architect of northern victory, but lee's reputation is exalted alongside that of lincoln, and lee's reputation is particularly solidified by the pulitzer-prize winning, four-volume biography by freeman. it is really not until the 1970's, really, that we start to see academic historians engage in dismantling the lee myth, or questioning at least, aspects of the lee myth. much of what has been written emphasizes reconciliation, north and south coming together, driven by economic interests, which we have talked about, the new south ideology, popular literature, joint reunions of blue and gray veterans, although these were not numerous. most reunions included union or confederate soldiers, but there were those that had union and confederate veterans coming together. lastly, national development, such as the spanish-american war, brought the two sides together, the sons of union and confederate veterans went off to liberate cu
