	Light-Horse Harry Lee - Part 2
		Both parts are heavily indebted to Charles Royster's Light Horse Harry Lee, and to a lesser extent to Noel B. Gerson's Light Horse Harry Lee, and Paul C. Nagel's The Lees of Virginia.
		This sketch is even more so because it grants Lee his good intentions and accepts the premise that Henry Lee III missed his chance for true greatness, failing his family in the process, in part through his own overwhelming early success which confirmed him in the conceit which was his undoing.
		During the period of their marriage, Lee was often away from his first wife, Matilda, and their family as he pursued his dreams of wealth and power and his view of the new nation.

		Harry Lee was clearly in love with his first wife, which indicates that Matilda probably had the moral upper hand that courting-age women had over their future husbands in the 18th century.
		Her job was to instill virtue in Harry Lee and drive him to be a dedicated member of the Republic and subordinate his individual interests to that of the state.
		In conclusion, Harry Lee was a success in that he had all the right intentions for his country and his family, but he was a failure because never got what he was aiming for.

	1st Chapter of Robert E. Lee
		Lee the good Federalist deplored Anglo-American enmity; Lee the good patriot cared deeply for his country, no matter who the enemy was or which party was attempting to prosecute the conflict.
		Harry Lee maintained the fiction that this was a temporary separation from his family; when his health and "prospects" improved he would return from his sojourn south, gather his family, and live in a style he had only pretended in the past.
		Light Horse Harry suffers no financial distress in his son's biographical sketch, spends no time in jail, and moves to Alexandria "for the purpose of educating his children." Only his father's mysterious resignation from the Continental Army provoked serious questions.

		Partly because of bad luck, partly because of his penchant for investing in grandiose, unrealistic schemes, “Light Horse Harry” Lee had squandered his fortune and had suffered the humiliation of being put in debtor’s jail in 1809.
		“Young Robert Lee," states one scholar, "never forgot his father’s disgrace.” [3] Only six years old when his father left home and just eleven when “Light Horse Harry” expired, Lee was reared almost solely by his mother and her family, the Carters of Shirley Plantation.
		"Lee's correspondence does not contain the echo of a liaison, the shadow of an oath, or the stain of a single obscene suggestion," says Freeman.
