There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.
New episodes twice a week on iHeartRadio.

I bailed on this episode when they conflated the two. Disappointing

@MichaelStichauf 2 месяца назад

@@dziban303 Yes, I bailed, as well. When I ran across this podcast a few days ago (it was in my recommendations because of all my history subscriptions) I thought I would check it out, especially when I saw that they just uploaded the last of 4 podcasts on Lee. I like binging something like this. I put all 4 in order and started listening about 45 minutes ago. But, when I heard them combine Lee's old man with his grandfather, that was it for me. I'm not trying to trash these guys especially because they are tearing the South's and MAGA world's god to pieces, as well they should! MAGA and all of the bigots in the South want you to believe that slavery was a positive for the slaves. REALLY?!? I just have a hard time listening to something like this when all they had to do was double check their info before doing these episodes. For half-hearted history listeners who want short form info, this is okay for them because the overarching theme of the 4 episodes is that Lee was a bum and should have been hung along with quite a few others! If we'd have done that after we torched and crushed the confederacy, we wouldn't be in the situation that we are in today with this scumbag Trump running AGAIN in order to create a dictatorship for himself!

A rare uplifting historical fact that makes me smile every time I think about it is everything that happened to Arlington House. Siezing it from him, buying it for half a million in today's dollars, and burying the dead of the war he was waging right in his front lawn. I just love it. The fact that he loved that house too makes it even better. E: Just listened to part 2! I stand corrected, crazy how widespread myths about him are. Still happy that the US bought it for peanuts.

@FTZPLTC 3 месяца назад

Glad to see some acknowledgement that the whole "pilgrim fathers fleeing religious persecution" thing in America's origin story can also be read as "even Europe was entirely done with their shit". Not saying we were some bastion of tolerance in the 17th century, but to be persecuted as a *Christian* back then would take some doing. Also nice that you touched upon the weird way that aristocrats distinguish being given money by their rich friends from charity. Another way they do it (and still do it) is employing each other in what Terry Pratchett called "silly jobs for big wages".

"Leesylvania" isn't such a strange name. It simply means something like "Lee's Woods", just like Pennsylvania means "Penn's Woods".

you are factually wrong at 26:01 - R.E. Lee's father is Henry "Light Horse" Lee III NOT Richard Henry Lee. While they are some what distant cousins, Lee's father Light Horse is famous for a successful career under General G. Washington in the Rev War, giving Washington's eulogy, becoming a governor of Virginia, marrying first a fabulously wealthy niece of Richard Henry Lee, Matilda Lee of Strafford and second marrying Anne Hill Carter the g-granddaughter of the wealthiest Virginian of the age Robert "King" Carter, and finally ending his life as a debtor who abandons his family. Richard Henry Lee is of the Strafford Lees, he and his brother Frances signed the Declaration of Independence as he infamously called for colonial independence which promoted the Declaration being written. The distinction is important if using psychology and family relationships/history, like Dr. Guelzo who you cite, as the reasons behind Lee's life and decisions. Liking the podcast so far and agree/support many of the Guelzoian theories you are using but essential factual mistakes detract from the validity of your argument since the heart of your argument is based on how much these men are key to understanding Lee and whether he committed "treason". Great otherwise, looking forward to listening more ~

Hooowwweeeever…. Usually most people who attack Sherman are tackling in ‘what about-isms’ which is often a dishonest tactic to throw away the conversation onto one person and now force folks to defend another. So engaging in a topic about Sherman’s past can often lead to just weird optics in general.
