[B]Acton and Lee
by Tim Swanson
"He who wins the war writes the history books."
Historians grapple for letters between infamous people. Whether it is Stalin and Hitler or Roosevelt and McCollum, they leave no stone unturned, no road untraveled and no path untroded, in their pursuit for knowledge. One particular exchange between two well-known men however is quite easy to find but is rarely discussed in academia. What follows is the correspondence between Lord Acton and Robert E. Lee.
