Original Note:
Robert E. Lee was not radicalized by John Brown's raid, in fact he was sent by then-President Buchanan to put down the raid. In his report he says that Brown's "plan was the attempt of a fanatic or madÂman, who could only end in failure". https://web.archive.org/web/20100722154442/http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/johnbrown/leereport.html
