The Secret Trial of Robert E. Lee
The Secret Trial of Robert E. Lee
Written by: Thomas Fleming
"The year was 1865. The Civil War is over and the South lies in ruins. But for some, the former slaveholders have not been punished enough. A cabal of powerful men, led by Charles A. Dana, the Assistant Secretary of War, plot to break the spirit of the South once and for all—by convicting General Robert E. Lee of treason and hanging him like a common criminal."
