The old story goes that General Robert E. Lee was having difficulty finding food enough to feed the prisoners of war in his charge. As his officers discussed how to overcome the problem, one of them bitterly suggested that the Union Army had plenty of food, and perhaps they could send a letter over the lines to General Grant, asking him to send rations to feed his own soldiers. To which General Lee quietly replied: "These aren't General Grant's prisoners."
Word comes from below the (state) border that a particular town you might have heard of--New Orleans--is in the process of removing a statue of Robert E. Lee in, of all things, Lee Circle.
