Also , there's a reason why Salmon P. Chase never tried Jefferson Davis as a traitor. Sand applies to Lee and each Southern Patriot.

As a General is still studied at USMA.
I think the Congress, did it that way because that's when the Civil War ended in 1865 and the United States was whole again with the southern states back in the fold.
Wrong. They did it that way because of the tremendous regard everyone in the nation had for General Lee. He was offered the command of the Union Army before the war started, but he couldn't fight against fellow Virginians, and took command of the Confederate Army instead

But he was a man of honor, and was treated as such. Had it not been for the respect granted General Lee, the south would have been treated far worse.
