Subject: Political Graveyard - Lee
 From: Gene Karl

Also remember that it was Richard Henry Lee who
infiltrated the Anti-Federalists and helped give us
excessive centralization of government under the
Articles of Confederation. And it was he who
gave us the phrase "Free and Independent States"
for the Declaration of Independence, which sets up
state governments instead of true Republics.

Light Horse Harry is Robert E. Lee's father and 
first cousin once removed of Richard Henry Lee.

Robert E. Lee's father Eulogized George Washington.
