How would Lee be remembered if he had fought to the last man at Appomattox on April 8th, 1865 and die with a gun in hand.?
Would he still a hero in the eyes of people today?
Would the last stand at Appomattox be compared to the Alamo or Thermopylae with the same praise?
Would the last stand at Appomattox be consider by historians as foolishness of a zealot?
Would there have been a "Lost Cause movement" if Lee had die that way or would it have added more fuel to the movement and Lee's legend?
How would such an act be perceived?
