Most people immediately picture Robert E. Lee, the most prominent general of the tragic Confederate Army, when they hear the phrase “Southern Gentleman” (you can hear the capital letters). Lee had it all: a renowned family, style, a strict code of honor, a lavish horse, and exceptional athletic ability. He lost a battle, but he did so in an elegant fashion.
He kept a pet chicken as well. These things, in that strange land known as the past, are not as disconnected as one may initially suppose. Studying Lee’s history and the peculiar set of cultural beliefs that led the descendants of planters to believe they constituted the apex of human social development may help you grasp the story.
