Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg
[ send me this paper ]
A 25 page paper discussing some of General Lee's decisions and the relationships with his generals surrounding the Gettysburg campaign. Robert E. Lee was elevated to near-deity status both during and after the Civil War, but some of his more human qualities have come to light in recent years. General Longstreet was maligned for years as the reason for the failure of the Confederate army at Gettysburg, but he has been relieved of this distinction as other details surrounding the Gettysburg series of battles have been discovered. While there is no doubt that General Lee was a charismatic leader of fighting men, there is increasing evidence that he did not take full advantage of counsel of his generals that possibly could have prevented the devastating losses of both the Union and Confederate sides at Gettysburg. Bibliography lists 26 sources in 45 footnotes.

Robert E. Lee's Loyalty to the South
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing Robert E. Lee's motivations
for declining President Lincoln's offer of command of the Union army at the outbreak of the Civil
War. There is no question that Robert E. Lee was a master of military strategy and that he was a
man of the Southern tradition of honor. That he would cast his lot with the South rather than to
be disloyal to his native Virginia is testament to the depth of his commitment. Lee knew going
into the war and upon resigning his commission with the US army that he was joining a losing
proposition, but he chose what appeared to him to be the side of personal honor, rather than that
of political loyalty. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Roberts & Olson/A Line in the Sand/The Alamo
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page book review of Randy Roberts and James S. Olson's text A Line in the Sand, the Alamo in Blood and Memory (2001). The writer argues that this is no simply an historical account of the men who died defending the Alamo during the Texas Revolution. It is this, but it is also much more, as this book also qualifies as a work of sociology and pop culture. The first half of the text details the circumstances leading up to the "siege and battle of the Alamo" within the context provided by viewing it as a "clash between two cultures and two political forces" (viii). The second half of the book continues the saga of the Alamo as it moves from being an historical event to a piece of Americana. In so doing, the authors offer a fascinating account of the role that history plays in popular culture. Throughout the text, the authors do not merely relate events, but describe circumstances and people in a manner that makes the past "come alive," to quote the cliché, but, in this case, the comment is accurate.
