I like binging something like this. I put all 4 in order and started listening about 45 minutes ago. But, when I heard them combine Lee's old man with his grandfather, that was it for me. I'm not trying to trash these guys especially because they are tearing the South's and MAGA world's god to pieces, as well they should! MAGA and all of the bigots in the South want you to believe that slavery was a positive for the slaves. REALLY?!? I just have a hard time listening to something like this when all they had to do was double check their info before doing these episodes. For half-hearted history listeners who want short form info, this is okay for them because the overarching theme of the 4 episodes is that Lee was a bum and should have been hung along with quite a few others! If we'd have done that after we torched and crushed the confederacy, we wouldn't be in the situation that we are in today with this scumbag Trump running AGAIN in order to create a dictatorship for himself!

Glad to see some acknowledgement that the whole "pilgrim fathers fleeing religious persecution" thing in America's origin story can also be read as "even Europe was entirely done with their shit". Not saying we were some bastion of tolerance in the 17th century, but to be persecuted as a *Christian* back then would take some doing. Also nice that you touched upon the weird way that aristocrats distinguish being given money by their rich friends from charity. Another way they do it (and still do it) is employing each other in what Terry Pratchett called "silly jobs for big wages".

you are factually wrong at 26:01 - R.E. Lee's father is Henry "Light Horse" Lee III NOT Richard Henry Lee. While they are some what distant cousins, Lee's father Light Horse is famous for a successful career under General G. Washington in the Rev War, giving Washington's eulogy, becoming a governor of Virginia, marrying first a fabulously wealthy niece of Richard Henry Lee, Matilda Lee of Strafford and second marrying Anne Hill Carter the g-granddaughter of the wealthiest Virginian of the age Robert "King" Carter, and finally ending his life as a debtor who abandons his family. Richard Henry Lee is of the Strafford Lees, he and his brother Frances signed the Declaration of Independence as he infamously called for colonial independence which promoted the Declaration being written. The distinction is important if using psychology and family relationships/history, like Dr. Guelzo who you cite, as the reasons behind Lee's life and decisions. Liking the podcast so far and agree/support many of the Guelzoian theories you are using but essential factual mistakes detract from the validity of your argument since the heart of your argument is based on how much these men are key to understanding Lee and whether he committed "treason".

Prop is the most annoying guest they have on this show lol. I’ve turned his episodes off before and I absolutely love Robert and this podcast. Prop never adds much to the discussion, a lot of what he does is just repeat what Robert just said with a slight variation in wording with a “you know what I’m sayinnnnn” on the end. Or factually incorrect stuff. I’m still in the beginning of this episode though so we will see how it goes lol. Sometimes I’ll see an episode that I’ve wanted for a while and then it’ll be Prop as the guest and I lose some interest.
