How would you have treated confederate leaders?

Robert E. Lee should have been given better treatment than other leaders.  Maybe not Reconstruction head, but perhaps a decent post in Reconstruction or something.

Actually Jedi, nothing against you, but your comments show exactly the pathetic state our education system is in. Federal troops WERE in the South for years after the war and instead of sending southern kids north the yankee govt sent Northern teachers into the south to brainwash the children into believing that what their fathers & mothers fought for was "wrong".

You forgot to mention the five military governors of the South.
