Matt first describes Lee's ancestry, including a pretty detailed description of the life of his father Harry "Light Horse " Lee. Matt goes on to describe Lee's childhood, his time in the pre-war army, his relationships with Mary and his children, up to Lee's fateful decision to leave the army on April 20, 1861. He also touches on the hot topics of if Lee was a traitor, and Lee's attitude toward slavery.
There is a short Q&A at the end.
I will be doing more video's by Matt, and other rangers at Gettysburg and elsewhere. If you like them, please subscribe to my channel!
