(from The Reckoning: Our Nation's Trauma and Finding a Way to Heal by Mary L. Trump)
". . . The lack of accountability continued into the twentieth century, in sometimes flagrant and shocking ways. . . President Gerald Ford is responsible for two the the worst pardons in American history. . . In 1975, after 110 years had washed away (Robert E.) Lee's sins and reinvented him as some kind of hero, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 407-10 to restore Lee's full rights of citizenship. A couple of weeks later President Ford signed the resolution in order to correct an "oversight." . . . I can only imagine how the descendants of the people he enslaved and the Union soldiers who died because of him must have felt. . ."
