Confederate Generals more glorified

It seems like Confederate generals are glorified more than their Union counterparts. You take Robert e lee for example, his supporters have spun history to make it seem like he was this Nobel person who didn't believe in slavery and wasn't racist. He was just standing up for his state. And that he was a better general than Grant, but just didn't have the resources.
